Abstract
A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset. The method displays a data visualization based on a first dataset. The method then extracts analytic phrases from a first natural language command related to the data visualization. The method computes conversation centers associated with the first natural language command based on the analytic phrases and computes analytical functions for the conversation centers, thereby creating functional phrases. The method updates the data visualization based on the functional phrases. The method extracts new analytic phrases from a second natural language command related to the updated data visualization and computes a temporary conversation centers associated with the second natural language command based on the new analytic phrases. The method derives new conversation centers from the original conversation centers and the temporary conversation centers using transitional rules. The method then updates the data visualization based on the new conversation centers.
