Abstract
A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset. A data visualization is displayed based on a first dataset. The method then extracts analytic phrases from a natural language command related to the data visualization. The method computes conversation centers based on the analytic phrases and computes analytical functions associated with the conversation centers, thereby creating functional phrases. The method updates the data visualization according to the functional phrases. The method then extracts analytic phrases from a second natural language command related to the updated data visualization, and computes temporary conversation centers from these analytic phrases. The method then computes cohesion between the first analytic phrases and the second analytic phrases to build a set of conversation centers, and computes analytical functions from this set of conversation centers, thereby creating functional phrases. The method updates the data visualization based on the created functional phrases.
