  • Publication number: 20200034481
    Abstract: An electronic processor implemented method of providing results for a dataset. The method includes receiving the dataset and a user query relating to the dataset. The method further includes determining a language associated with a language-dependent data element in the dataset, and converting, based on the determined language, the language-dependent data element into a numerical representation of the language-dependent data element and assigning a classification to the numerical representation of the language-dependent data element. The method further includes generating an insight result based on the user query and the dataset including the numerical representation of the language-dependent data element and the assigned classification. The insight result includes at least one result from a data analysis of the dataset based on the user query. The method further includes outputting the insight result to a user interface.

  • Patent number: 10181208
    Abstract: Performance and capability improvements of computer devices that provide digital images of heatmap visualizations for datasets are provided via both systems and methods. A value-color spectrum is correlated to the dataset via a multi-pass rendering. The multi-pass rendering yields a two-channel mask, which is applied to a map to show the dataset in a heatmap visualization on that map, and may be continually used as the map is manipulated by a user. User interface tools are also provided to enable a user to specify a custom value-color spectrum, how the dataset is to be aggregated, the area of effect for a data point in the visualization, the strength of effect for a data point in the visualization, and which specifies how a dataset will be visually represented in a heatmap.

  • Publication number: 20170270082
    Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and computer storage media for dynamically rendering geographic data. Geographic data is dynamically rendered as a digital map such that changes to the corresponding geographic data are automatically applied to the map and the map is automatically updated to show the changes to the geographic data. The map is rendered to give the most effective view of the corresponding geographic data by determining a least common ancestor of identified geographic entities. The least common ancestor is the lowest ranked geographic entity, within a geographic hierarchy, that is still common to all of the identified geographic entities within a set of geographic data.
