Claim:
1. A method of facilitating targeted analysis via graph generation based on an influencing parameter, the method comprising: obtaining a graph comprising more than 1000 nodes and more than 2000 edges, each of the edges linking two of the nodes and having a value indicating an amount of similarity between objects corresponding to the two linked nodes, and the graph being generated from a natural language processing of a corpus of unstructured documents; after obtaining the graph, selecting a parameter for influencing the graph, the influencing parameter being selected from a source other than text of the unstructured documents; for each of at least 100 evaluation nodes among the nodes of the graph, assessing, by one or more processors, the number of edges of the evaluation node based on the selected influencing parameter, wherein an evaluation node is a node selected to be evaluated, and wherein assessing the number of edges comprises, with respect to each adjacent node in the graph sharing an edge with the evaluation node: preparing, based on the graph resulting from the assessment of the number of edges of the evaluation nodes, instructions to display at least part of the resulting graph.
