  • Publication number: 20140236964
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ranking a plurality of documents based on user activity are disclosed. A method includes receiving first user activity data and second user activity data. A first user activity point value is associated with the first user activity. A second user activity point value is associated with the second user activity. The method further includes identifying a first data item based on the first user activity data, identifying a second data item based on the second user activity data, updating a first score of the first data item based on the first user activity point value, updating a second score of the second data item based on the second user activity point value, identifying the plurality of documents based on the first data item and the second data item, and ranking the plurality of documents based on the first score and the second score.

  • Patent number: 8577864
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a validation tool may be configured to identify a plurality of words within a document, the document being provided in a first window within a user interface. Additionally, the systems and methods may be configured to determine, from a predetermined list that includes terms of interest, whether the words are matching words with terms of interest. The systems and methods may, in response to determining that the plurality of words are matching words with the terms of interest, highlight matching words in a document and access pieces of related data for matching words.

  • Publication number: 20120166425
    Abstract: Systems and methods create a graphical representation of a research map that allows performance of search functions using the nodes of the graphical representation. In one implementation, a system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receive a query for searching a document repository and run the query in the document repository. The processor stores the results of the query and the query as a root node in a research tree. The processor receives a filter for the results of the query. The processor stores the filter and the result list for the filter as a filter node connected to the root node of in the research tree. The processor receives a request to view a document from the result list for the filter and stores the request as a document node connected to the filter node. The processor then creates a display of a research map that includes the research tree.
