Various implementations of the present disclosure relate to text to visualization. In a method, information items are extracted from a natural language sentence. Visual elements associated with the information items are determined. A visual representation of the natural language sentence based on the visual elements is determined, the visual representation indicating information expressed by the natural language sentence.

Text to visualization

In accordance with implementations of the present disclosure, a solution for converting a natural language query is provided. In this solution, a first natural language query and a second natural language query for one or more data tables are received, wherein semantics of the second natural language query is dependent on the first natural language query. A third natural language query for one or more data tables is generated based on the first natural language query and the second natural language query, wherein semantics of the third natural language query is identical to the semantics of the second natural language query and independent of the first natural language query. In this way, this solution can convert a context-dependent natural language query into a context-independent natural language query, thereby enabling interfacing with any semantic parsers which can convert a natural language query into a computer-executable query.
