Abstract: Techniques for utilizing a natural language interface to perform data analysis include receiving a natural language question for retrieving data stored in a database and interpreting the natural language question to generate a structured query for the database. The structured query is translated into a natural language representation of the structured query, which is displayed during execution of the structured query. Responsive data is received and one or more visualization types for presenting the responsive data to the user is determined based on the natural language question, the responsive data, and one or more data types of the data. A visualization of the responsive data is generated based on one visualization type of the determined visualization types, which is displayed in a card in a graphical user interface. The card can include the natural language representation of the structured query and the visualization of the responsive data.
