Natural Language Interface for Building Data Visualizations, Including Cascading Edits to Filter Expressions

摘要

A method is performed at a computing device having a display, one or more processors, and memory. The device displays a graphical user interface on the display. A user provides a natural language input, which specifies a filter, including a first data field, a relation, and a first comparison value. The user then replaces the first data field in the filter with a second data field. In response to replacing the first data field, the device automatically replaces the first comparison value with a second comparison value. The second comparison value corresponds to the data type of the second data field. In some instances, the device also updates the relation based on the data type of the second data field. The device then displays an updated data visualization according to the updated filter.
