1. A system for correlating data with events derived from text mining comprising:
- an application server program recorded in an electronic memory and configured to;
(1) receive data indicating a time period and a parameter, the parameter concerning an entity, (2) retrieve an event previously extracted automatically from unstructured text, the event relating to the entity within the time period, and (3) display an indication of the event superimposed on a display representing the parameter during the time period.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and system for correlating time-series data with events derived from text mining. The system is configured to receive a time period and a parameter concerning an entity, retrieve an event which is related to the entity and occurred within the time period from events which are previously extracted automatically from unstructured text, and display an indication of the event superimposed on a display representing the time series of the parameter for the time period.
