Generation of recurring searches
First Claim
1. A method for generating a recurring search for a research system that identifies documents as relevant to particular categories, the method comprising:
- generating a set of categories to include in the recurring search based on (i) a user objective selected by a user from a list comprising at least one of a portfolio analysis objective, a competitor analysis objective, and a customer analysis objective and (ii) an initial category by using relationship data that defines a plurality of different types of relationships between a plurality of different categories, the recurring search for identifying documents from a particular period of time identified as relevant to the set of categories; and
identifying an optimal set of filters for removing specific types of documents that are relevant to the set of categories from the recurring search, wherein for each of said objectives, the method identifies a different optimal set of filters for the recurring search.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for generating a recurring search for a research system that identifies documents as relevant to particular categories. The method generates a set of categories to include in the recurring search based on an identified user objective and an initial category by using relationship data that defines several different types of relationships between several different categories. The recurring search identifies documents from a particular period of time identified as relevant to the set of categories. The method identifies an optimal set of filters for removing specific types of documents that are relevant to the set of categories from the recurring search.

11. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit generates a recurring search for a research system that identifies documents that are relevant to a plurality of categories, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
-
generating a set of categories to include in the recurring search based on (i) a user objective selected by a user from a list comprising at least one of a portfolio analysis objective, a competitor analysis objective, and a customer analysis objective and (ii) an initial category, by using relationship data stored in the research system that defines a plurality of different types of relationships between the initial category and a plurality of different categories, wherein the recurring search identifies documents classified by the research system as relevant to the generated set of categories over a period of time; and identifying an optimal set of filters to apply to the recurring search for removing specific types of documents from the recurring search that are otherwise classified as relevant to the generated set of categories, wherein for each of said objectives, the program identifies a different optimal set of filters for the recurring search. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit generates a recurring search for a research system that identifies documents that are relevant to a plurality of categories, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
-
generating a set of categories to include in the recurring search based on an identified user objective and an initial category using relationship data stored in the research system that defines a plurality of different types of relationships between the initial category and a plurality of different categories, the different types of relationships comprising relationships between companies and other companies, companies and business lines, companies and people, companies and industries, companies and topics, people and industries, and topics and industries, wherein the recurring search identifies documents classified by the research system as relevant to the generated set of categories over a period of time; and identifying an optimal set of filters to apply to the recurring search for removing specific types of documents from the recurring search that are otherwise classified as relevant to the generated set of categories. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
