1. A computer implemented method for filtering open source documents to detect events, the method comprising:
- storing, at a first server, indications and warnings associated with each of a plurality of event types, each of the event types being related to a disease or pest infestation affecting a plant or non-human animal;
receiving a selection of an event type;
receiving a selection of a surveillance location;
identifying information sources that may have data about the selected event type;
downloading publicly accessible data from the selected information sources;
filtering the data, using an alert generation module developed using Bayesian causal models, to identify a subset of the data containing indications and warnings that suggest that the disease or pest infestation is occurring;
creating and storing an event report identifying the disease or pest infestation based on the subset of the publicly accessible data containing the indications and warnings; and
outputting the event report over a communications network.

Abstract
A system and method involves detecting operational social disruptive events on a global scale, assigning event staging and warnings to express data in more simplistic terms, modeling data in conjunction with linguistics analysis to establish responsive actions, generating visualization and modeling capabilities for communicating information, and modeling propagation of events for containment and forecasting purposes.

13. A system for filtering open source documents to detect events, comprising:
-
one or more document collection servers that download and store publicly accessible data from information sources; a first server that stores indications and warnings associated with each of a plurality event types, each of the event types being related to a disease or pest infestation affecting a plant or non-human animal; a graphical user interface that receives a selection of an event type and a selection of a surveillance location; an alert generation module developed using Bayesian causal models that identifies a subset of the publicly accessible data containing indications and warnings that suggest that the disease or pest infestation is occurring; an analysis and reporting subsystem that creates and outputs an event report identifying the disease or pest infestation based on the subset of the publicly accessible data containing the indications and warnings. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
