  • Patent number: 11615129
    Abstract: Electronic message text classification framework selection is described. An incoming electronic message is classified using a current text classification framework. A classification of the electronic message by the current text classification framework is scored. A cost of re-training the current text classification is compared against a cost of switching to a different text classification framework. One of multiple text classification frameworks, which includes the current text classification framework and other text classification frameworks, is selected based on the score of the classification by the current text classification framework and a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11410080
    Abstract: Identification of content classes deemed important by users is received. Classifiers are trained on user communication text to recognize content matching content classes. A composite classifier is applied to text of communication among users of a second set of users, including tagging, by the composite classifier, content in text of communication among the users of the second set. The tagging is responsive to the classifiers recognizing their respective content classes in text of communication among the users of the second set.

  • Patent number: 11176472
    Abstract: A thread delta prediction and cognitive conversation opportunity generation. A prediction model may be generated based on chat space conversation data, and predicts a chat thread delta associated with a current chat conversation data. A data package may be created based on the chat thread delta. Based on the data package, a conversation opportunity may be determined for a given topic for given user in the chat space, to conduct during a time period of the chat thread delta in real-time.

  • Patent number: 10417340
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for cognitively summarizing one or more collaborative moments is provided. An embodiment may include receiving a plurality of communications sent during a collaborative session. The embodiment may also include grouping the plurality of received communications into one or more bursts. The embodiment may further include assigning one or more keywords or one or more entities to each burst. The embodiment may also include generating a summary for each burst using one or more natural language processing techniques based on the assigned one or more keywords or one or more entities. The embodiment may further include transmitting the generated summary to each user participating in the collaborative session.
