NL4DV: Natural Language toolkit for Data Visualization

DOI:10.1109/TVCG.2020.3030418 arxiv badge

NL4DV takes a natural language query about a given dataset as input and outputs a structured JSON object containing:

  • Data attributes,
  • Analytic tasks, and
  • Visualizations (Vega-Lite specifications)

With this output, developers can

  • Create visualizations in Python using natural language, and/or
  • Add a natural language interface to their existing visualization systems.

NL4DV Overview

Setup Instructions, API Documentation, and Examples

These can all be found on NL4DV's project website.

NL4DV was created by Arpit Narechania, Arjun Srinivasan, and John Stasko of the Georgia Tech Visualization Lab.
