  • Publication number: 20140067975
    Abstract: A message processing method and system. According to embodiments of the present invention, the preference of a user for messages may be determined based on actions of the user regarding those messages. The message is analyzed to determine one or more categories to which content of the messages belongs to. Thus, a matching degree between the user and a corresponding category may be determined or adjusted according to the preference of the user for the messages. Such a matching degree may be then used for filtering an incoming message. According to embodiments of the present invention, for each specific user, the information that a user is not interested in may be filtered in a more accurate and adaptive manner.
