  • Patent number: 10936803
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for generating and displaying interactive charts from hierarchical datasets are presented. A dataset comprising a plurality of data points may be received, wherein each of the data points has a score and a weight associated with it, and wherein each of the plurality of data points is a member of a hierarchical category type of the dataset. A weight value that each hierarchical category type contributes to the dataset, relative to each other category type, may be calculated. A score for each of the hierarchical category types may be calculated. A plurality of objects that each represent one of the hierarchical category types may be displayed in a hierarchical format in association with an indication of the calculated score for each of the objects.
