  • Publication number: 20210117821
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for ranking action sets comprised of actions for an event to optimize action set selection. Information is maintained on actions for a plurality of events. Each action indicates an action value of the action to the user and event weights of the action with respect to a plurality of the events. A determination is made of actions sets having at least one action to perform for the event. For each determined action set, a rank of the action set is calculated as a function of the action value for each action in the action set and an event weight of the action with respect to the event. At least one action set is presented to the user for consideration. In response to receiving user feedback, an adjusted rank is set for at least one of the presented action sets.

  • Patent number: 10965631
    Abstract: Activity-related relevance processing of an electronic message includes receiving, by a processor(s) user-related data indicative of a current activity of a user, and parsing, by the processor(s), content of the electronic message for an electronic device of the user. The parsing includes using natural language processing of the electronic message. An activity-related relevance of the electronic message to the user is determined, by the processor(s), based on the user-related data and the parsed content of the electronic message. Based at least in part on the determined activity-related relevance, the electronic message is processed for the user's electronic device.
