Abstract: In order to facilitate automatic electronic calendar rescheduling in response to out-of-office statuses, systems and methods are described including receiving, by processors, an out-of-office notification associated with meeting attendees. The processors identify a need-to-reschedule meeting data item of respective need-to-reschedule meetings. The processors utilize a meeting scheduling machine learning model to predict a plurality of parameters of a meeting room object representing respective candidate rescheduled meetings based at least in part on schedule information and location information associated with the at least one need-to-reschedule meeting data items. The processors cause to display an indication of the respective candidate rescheduled meetings in response to the out-of-office notification on a screen of a computing device associated with the respective attendees.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for generating labelled dataset using a training data recommender technique. Recommender systems face major challenges in handling dynamic data on machine learning paradigms thereby rendering inaccurate unlabeled dataset. The method of the present disclosure is based on a training data recommender technique suitably constructed with a newly defined parameter such as the labelled data prediction threshold to determine the adequate amount of labelled training data required for training the one or more machine learning models. The method processes the received unlabeled dataset for labelling the unlabeled dataset based on a labelled data prediction threshold which is determined using a trained training data recommender technique.
