Look up tf-idf. We used this technique to build a similar product (now open sourced[0]) to Journal actually, building off an improved version of tf-idf called CoSaL[1].

Orbit is actually an insanely ambitious take on this problem space. The CoSaL algorithm is in there, it even runs using a forked version of Spotify’s C optimized algorithm.
