Linking newsworthy events to published content

A method for providing internet content, the method comprising:

• training a classifier utilizing a plurality of features and a plurality of training sentences with associated judgments, wherein the classifier is operable to determine a probability of an availability of news for a sentence, wherein at least one of the features when found in the sentence increases a probability of the availability of news for the sentence;
• determining by the classifier which sentences in a document are candidate sentences for having available news;
• for each candidate sentence, finding an associated news article when the associated news article exceeds a threshold of relevance to the candidate sentence;
• adding links in the document to the found associated news articles;
• and
• displaying the document with the added links, wherein at least one operation of the method is executed through a processor.

A computer program embedded in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, when executed by one or more processors, for providing internet content, the computer program comprising:

• program instructions for receiving a plurality of features by a classifier that is operable to determine a probability of an availability of news for a sentence, wherein at least one of the features when found in the sentence increases a probability of the availability of news for the sentence, the sentence including one or more noun phrases and ending in a full stop;
• program instructions for determining by the classifier which sentences in a document are candidate sentences for having available news;
• program instructions for finding, for each candidate sentence, an associated news article when the associated news article exceeds a threshold of relevance to the candidate sentence;
• program instructions for adding links in the document to the found associated news articles;
• and
• program instructions for displaying the document with the added links.
