Systems and Methods for Authoring Data-Driven Narratives Through Bidirectional Visualization and Text Generation

A computing device, comprising:

• a display;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying, on a user interface, a plurality of nodes associated with one or more datasets, the plurality of nodes including a first visualization node and a second node that is connected to the first visualization node by a connector, the first visualization node including a chart;
• receiving a user interaction with a portion of the chart that is displayed in the first visualization node;
• in response to receiving the user interaction:
• generating intermediate data according to the portion of the chart;
• and
• displaying the intermediate data on the user interface;
• receiving, via the user interface, user selection of at least a subset of the intermediate data;
• and
• in response to receiving the user selection:
• transmitting to a language model a request based on the user selection of the at least the subset of the intermediate data;
• receiving, from the language model, data describing the one or more datasets according to the subset of the intermediate data;
• and
• rendering the data describing the one or more datasets as (i) an update or modification of the first visualization node or the second node, or (ii) a third node that is distinct from the plurality of nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by one or more processors of a computing device, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
