Natural Language Interface for Building Data Visualizations, Including Cascading Edits to Filter Expressions

A computing device, coupled with a display, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying a graphical user interface on the display;
• receiving, from a user, a natural language input that specifies a filter, including a first data field, a relation, and a first comparison value;
• receiving, from the user, a user input to replace the first data field in the filter with a second data field;
• in response to receiving the user input, automatically replacing the first comparison value with a second comparison value, which corresponds to a data type of the second data field;
• and
• displaying, on the graphical user interface, an updated data visualization according to the updated filter.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• displaying a graphical user interface on the display;
• receiving, from a user, a natural language input that specifies a filter, including a first data field, a relation, and a first comparison value;
• receiving, from the user, a user input to replace the first data field in the filter with a second data field;
• in response to receiving the user input, automatically replacing the first comparison value with a second comparison value, which corresponds to a data type of the second data field;
