Abstract

A method generates data visualizations based on user selected data sources and user input that specifies natural language commands requesting information about the data sources. The computer determines one or more keywords from the natural language command and determines, based on the one or more keywords, a user intent to generate a new data visualization. The computer then generates a visual specification that specifies a plurality of visual variables. Each visual variable of the plurality of visual variables is generated based on the first user intent. The computer then generates and displays a data visualization based on the visual specification.
