Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for detecting incidents are disclosed. The method includes receiving a primary issue creation event record for a primary issue, the event record including a description of the primary issue, and encoding the primary issue into a primary vector number based on the description of the primary issue. The method further includes identifying candidate issues and retrieving vector numbers of the identified candidate issues, computing distances between the primary vector number and each of the candidate vector numbers, and determining whether incident criteria is met based on the computed distances. In addition, the method includes determining that an incident has occurred upon determining that the incident criteria is met and generating an alert.
