Entity-centric knowledge discovery
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising computer executable code embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computing devices, performs the steps of:
- displaying an in-progress document containing user-editable information about an entity in a first window of a computer;
identifying a plurality of search results from one or more sources that identify documents each containing a mention with a predetermined likelihood of referring to the entity described in the in-progress document displayed in the first window;
displaying the search results in a second window in an order ranked according to differences from the in-progress document based on a dissimilarity measurement calculated with a dissimilarity model that quantifies differences between feature vectors for two documents;
presenting content of one of the search results as an item for display by the computer;
in response to a user selection of the item, adding the item to the in-progress document in the first window, thereby providing a change to the in-progress document; and
in response to the change to the in-progress document in the first window, automatically offering an updated search result for the second window with the computer.

Abstract
A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.
