Base Claim:
1. A method for visualizing topic location in a document redundancy graph, said method comprising: constructing a document redundancy graph by representing at least one paragraph associated with a document set as a node among a plurality of nodes, wherein each node among said plurality of nodes represents a unique duster of information, analyzing said plurality of nodes for redundant information by comparing paragraph identifiers for each of said at least one paragraph to obtain a probability value for each pair of paragraphs, and merging certain of said plurality of nodes based on said probability value; providing data representing said document redundancy graph for a document or document set; determining user interface specified search data; searching for said search data in document subcomponents of said document or document set; determining at least one of said document subcomponents containing data related to search data; determining, from said redundancy graph data, user selectable node(s) containing said determined document subcomponent(s); and generating data for identifying said determined user selectable node(s) on a user interface.

Claim 3:
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating data for identifying said determined user selectable node(s) on a user interface comprises generating data for visually highlighting said determined user selectable nodes on said user interface.
