Various methods are provided for generating and annotating a graph. One example method may include determining one or more key patterns in a primary data channel, wherein the primary data channel is derived from raw input data in response to a constraint being satisfied. A method may further include determining one or more significant patterns in one or more related data channels. A method may further include generating a natural language annotation for at least one of the one or more key patterns or the one or more significant patterns. A method may further include generating a graph that is configured to be displayed in a user interface, the graph having at least a portion of the one or more key patterns, the one or more significant patterns and the natural language annotation.
