Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for determining at least one characteristic about a figure and searching a data set based on an indicated search area for at least one entry that falls within a threshold value of the determined at least one characteristic about the figure, wherein the search area indicates which part of the data set to be searched. Displaying the at least one entry from the data set that falls within a threshold value of the determined at least one characteristic about the figure.

Figure driven search query

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for dynamic data visualization is provided. The present invention may include identifying at least one set of facts in a human-readable text document. They present invention may then include retrieving, from an information source, a dataset associated with the at least one identified set of facts. The present invention may also include, in response to determining that the retrieved dataset includes a fact-supporting dataset, wherein the fact-supporting dataset is configured to validate the at least one identified set of facts, generating at least one data visualization based on the retrieved dataset. The present invention may further include providing the at least one generated data visualization for inserting into the human-readable text document to support the at least one identified set of facts.

Dynamic data visualization from factual statements in text

Techniques are described for selecting, based on a data visualization intent specification and a defined set of data fields associated with a set of data, two or more Meta templates that meet the data visualization intent specification and that support the set of data fields, for determining chart parts that can be used within the selected Meta templates to form chart templates and for determining, based on a set of combination rules and the specification, the chart templates that meet the data visualization intent specification.

System and method for visualizing data

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for statistical clustering inferred from natural language to drive relevant analysis. The mechanism receives a natural language text from a user and processes the natural language text to identify an entity of interest and a focus of statistical analysis. The mechanism performs a follow-up question and answer conversation with the user to receiving from the user one or more driving factor values for the one or more driving factors. The mechanism determines at least one cluster of entities matching the one or more driving factor values and generates at least one data visualization of the data in the corpus for the focus of statistical analysis having a scope that is narrowed based on the at least one cluster of entities matching the one or more driving factor values.

Statistical clustering inferred from natural language to drive relevant analysis and conversation with users

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system generates an alternative visualization of a data set based on a specification of a selected first visualization of the data set and parameters comprising information about a data visualization goal and statistical relations between two of more variables in the data set. Embodiments of the present invention further include a computer program product for generating an alternative visualization in substantially the same manners described above.

Determining alternative visualizations for data based on an initial data visualization

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method generates an alternative visualization of a data set based on a specification of a selected first visualization of the data set and parameters comprising information about a data visualization goal and statistical relations between two or more variables in the data set. Embodiments of the present invention further include a system and computer program product for generating an alternative visualization in substantially the same manners described above.

One embodiment of the present invention discloses a method, computer program product, and system for a method of determining the credibility of a visualization. Visualization data is received from an electronic device. The visualization data is compared to a plurality of visualization credibility criteria to determine a level of credibility for each of the visualization credibility criteria. The credibility of the visualization is rated based on the level of credibility for each of the visualization credibility criteria.

Visualization credibility score

A processor-implemented method for merging a plurality of visualizations is provided. The method may include receiving the plurality of visualizations. The method may further include analyzing a plurality of elements within the plurality of visualizations. Additionally, the method may include unifying the plurality of elements to generate at least one unified visualization, the at least one unified visualization being based on the analyzing of the plurality of elements. The method may also include producing a single output visualization based on the assembling of the at least one unified visualization.

Intelligent merging of visualizations

A chart data layout system and method of processing chart data in a report is provided. An example chart data layout system comprises a query module for decomposing required data into required data queries, a chart layout module for rendering a chart based upon chart data received from the queries, a category module for displaying category aggregate information in a category location of a chart, and a series module for displaying series aggregate information in a series location of the chart. An example method comprises decomposing required data into queries, retrieving queried data, rendering a chart based upon the queried data, rendering category information on a category label of the chart based upon queried data, and rendering series information on a series label of the chart based upon queried data.

System and method of chart data layout

A method and a system for analyzing a data value of interest in a multidimensional database. The data value of interest is first identified in a structured report. The data source for the structured report is retrieved. A context for the data value of interest in the data source is collected, for example, by extracting a slicer from the structured report, by extracting members of master-detail pages, or by extracting a default measure from the structured report. An analysis specification based on the collected context is then built, and the data value of interest is analyzed using the analysis specification. The result from analyzing the data value of interest may be presented in an analysis view.
