  • Using natural language processing for visual analysis of a data set
    Patent number: 11874877
    Abstract: A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset, and is performed at a computer having a display, processors, and memory. The computer displays a data visualization based on a dataset retrieved from a database and receives a first user input to specify a natural language command related to the displayed data visualization. Based on the displayed data visualization and the natural language command, the computer identifies an initial range of values for a first data field in the dataset and displays an editable user interface control showing the initial range of values. The computer receives a second user input, at the user interface control, specifying a modified range of values for the first data field and retrieves an updated dataset from the database using the modified range of values for the first data field. The computer then updates the displayed data visualization using the updated dataset.
