Interactive user interface for dynamic data analysis exploration and query processing

A computer system comprising:

• one or more hardware computer processors configured to execute code in order to cause the one or more hardware computer processors to:
• provide a user interface configured to display at least a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel, wherein:
• the first panel is configured to provide an analysis path visualization,
• the second panel is configured to provide one or more selectable elements for analyzing one or more data sets, and
• the third panel is configured to provide one or more data visualizations;
• in response to a first user input selecting a first selectable element of the one or more selectable elements:
• determine a first analysis type associated with the first selectable element;
• add a first data visualization to the third panel representing results of an analysis of the first analysis type of a data set;
• and
• add a first icon to the first panel representing the first analysis type associated with the first selectable element;
• and
• in response to a second user input selecting a second selectable element of the one or more selectable elements:
• determine a second analysis type associated with the second selectable element;
• add a second icon to the first panel representing the second analysis type associated with the second selectable element;
• and
• add an edge to the first panel connecting the first and second icons so as to visually indicate an analysis path.
