TV broadcast news can be treated as one such stream of text; in this paper we discuss finding news articles on the web that are relevant to news currently being broadcast.
Our general approach is to extract queries from the ongoing stream of closed captions, issue the queries in real time to a news search engine on the web, and postprocess the top results to determine the news articles that we show to the user.

quite a few algorithm variations described there on first view:
stemming, history and query shortening algorithms - will make a long read.
By the way when will Google news be carrying ads?...
a deal with CNN? show Google news pages with the right adapted search query results? top it up with a few ads?
The "related work" section at the bottom is where it really gets interesting.
You are definitely able to see, once again, that Google wants to get into the "suggestion and personalization" business. I imagine that along with the content-targeted advertising, we are going to see content-targeted news links. Take for example, blocks of text on a blog site, analyze them, and offer related news of interest.
