Abstract: A computer system identifies threads in a communication session. A feature vector is generated for a message in a communication session, wherein the feature vector includes elements for features and contextual information of the message. The message feature vector and feature vectors for a plurality of threads are processed using machine learning models each associated with a corresponding thread to determine a set of probability values for classifying the message into at least one thread, wherein the threads include one or more pre-existing threads and a new thread. A classification of the message into at least one of the threads is indicated based on the set of probability values. Classification of one or more prior messages is adjusted based on the message's classification. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for identifying threads in a communication session in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: A system for managing compositions of software components or applications is disclosed. In particular, systems in which the software components or applications communicate with one another using message-oriented middleware are considered. Each component processing a data feed item adds an annotation to the data feed item, so that the cumulative annotation which is seen in the processed feed for an application provides a history of the processing carried out on the input data feed(s). Each software component or application in the processing system is arranged to store a log of each message it inputs, the process(es) it carries out on that message, and the output message generated. The software component or application further includes a reference to a log interface (e.g. a Uniform Resource Locator) in the entry it makes to the message annotation. A downstream node is then able to use that interface reference to extract (192) the more detailed information to be found in the log.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate a computer system detecting an unusual activity event from activity data and sending a two-way notification message to a wireless device when a user has opt-in for a mobile application. The two-way push notification message is received at a wireless device and notification information is displayed at the wireless device outside the mobile application. The user selects one of the displayed action buttons to indicate whether the unusual activity event is valid or invalid. When a response to the computer system indicates that the unusual activity is valid, the computer system clears the inquiry and sends a subsequent push notification message to the wireless device informing the user. When the response indicates that the unusual activity is invalid, the computer system and the wireless device may establish an interaction through the mobile application in order to resolve the unusual activity event.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for reducing the display of duplicate push notifications in a device having a plurality of applications is provided. A first one of the plurality of applications is identified as a preferred one of the plurality of applications from which push notifications are to be displayed on the device. The focus of each of the duplicate push notifications is determined. A determination is made as to whether the focus of a first push notification received from the first one of the plurality of applications is the same as the focus of a second push notification received from a second one of the plurality of applications. Responsive to the focus of the first push notification being the same as the focus of the second push notifications, only the first push notification is displayed on the device.
