Abstract
A method uses natural language processing for visual analysis of a dataset, in a messaging application. The method includes receiving a first natural language (NL) input directed to a data source, in a messaging application. The first NL input includes at least one underspecified or ambiguous utterance. The method also includes parsing the first NL input into tokens based on a grammar and the data source. The method also includes generating and displaying an intermediate NL response, based on the tokens. In response to receiving a user input to provide missing information in the at least one underspecified or ambiguous utterance, the method includes generating an input query based on the user input and querying the data source using the input query, to obtain a result set. The method also includes generating and displaying a first NL output and a snapshot of a data visualization based on the result set.
