Some embodiments provide a method for defining a content relevance model for determining whether a content segment is relevant to a particular category. The method receives a first set of content segments that contain content relevant to the particular category and a second set of content segments that contain content not relevant to the particular category. The method identifies a set of key word sets more likely to appear in the first set of content segments than the second set of content segments. The method defines a content relevance model that comprises a set of groups of word sets and a score for each group, each of the groups of word sets comprising a key word set from the set of key word sets and at least one word set found in a context of the key word set in at least one of the received content segments.

Models for classifying documents

Some embodiments provide a method for determining a relatedness of content items to categories. The method identifies a particular content item, a relevancy score associated with the particular content item, and a set of categories to which the particular content item is classified as related. Based on a set of glossaries associated with the set of categories, the method calculates a set of affinity scores that each represents a degree of relevancy between the particular content item and a category in the set of categories. The method modifies the relevancy score associated with the particular content item based on the calculated set of affinity scores.

Affinity scoring

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 evaluating a content segment for relevancy to several of categories. The method retrieves the content segment. For each of the several categories, the method determines the relevancy of the content segment to the category by using a scoring model for the category. The scoring model accounts for (i) the presence of key word sets in the content segment and (ii) the context of the key word sets in the content segment. For each of the several categories, the method tags the content segment when the content segment is determined as relevant to the category.

Classification of documents

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.
