  • Publication number: 20230186248
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating convergence includes receiving data relating to a first user's history of connections with other users, receiving contextual data about the first user, the contextual data including organizational graph data, providing the data and the contextual data as inputs to a trained machine-learning (ML) model for identifying a second user for the first user to connect with based on the data and the contextual data, receiving the identified second user as an output from the trained ML model, and providing the identified second user as a connection suggestion for display in a user interface element.
