Some embodiments provide a method for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) for a research system. The method receives a request from a user of the research system for information about a particular category. The method generates a chart that displays a set of events associated with the particular category over a particular period of time. The method incorporates the chart into a GUI for the particular category for transmission to the user. Some embodiments generate a list of events associated with the particular category and generate a GUI that displays the list of the events. Each event is represented in the list by a title of a document identified by the research system as representative of the event.

Graphical user interface for presentation of events

Some embodiments provide a method for identifying an event for a particular category. The method classifies several documents as relevant to several different categories. The method identifies a number of documents relevant to the particular category for a current time period and a background time period. Based on a comparison of the number of documents from the current time period relevant to the particular category and the number of documents from the background time period relevant to the particular category, the method identifies an event for the category for the current time period. Some embodiments calculated a score for the event, and normalize the score based on an average number of documents relevant to each of a set of related categories including the particular category.

Event detection

Some embodiments provide a machine-implemented method. The method identifies an event for a particular category based on a number of documents classified as relevant to the particular category in a particular period of time. Based on content of the documents classified as relevant to the particular category, the method identifies a set of keywords for the event. The method uses the keywords to automatically select a representative document for the event. Some embodiments store a link to the representative document and automatically determine whether the particular document is still accessible at the link. When the document is no longer accessible at the link, the method replaces the document with a backup document as the representative document for the event.
