1. A system for identifying relevant information for an entity comprising:

  • one or more processors; and

    memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;

    generate a plurality of search queries comprising a seed entity and a plurality of entities associated with the seed entity, the plurality of entities including at least one first entity and at least one second entity, the at least one first entity being associated with the seed entity based on a hard link between the at least one first entity and the seed entity, the at least one second entity being associated with the seed entity based on a soft link between the at least one second entity and the seed entity, the soft link being generated based on one or more prior search queries;

    conduct searches, with the search queries, in one or more data sources to obtain a plurality of search results, wherein each search result comprises a hit cluster, each hit cluster including properties of a hit entity and properties of one or more entities associated with the hit entity; and

    determine a score for each of the hit clusters, taking as input (a) likelihood of match between the seed entity and the hit entity or between an entity associated with the seed entity and an entity associated with the hit entity, (b) presence of a new entity in the search result not present in the search queries and a difference between the new entity and an entity present in the search queries, and (c) characteristic of the new entity in the search result.
