  • Publication number: 20220327495
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to a scheduling platform configured to determine a time for scheduling a meeting. The scheduling platform receives a request for a new meeting and may associate the new meeting with available times on a calendar of a representative. The scheduling platform utilizes prediction model(s) to determine a probability of acceptance of an invitation to the meeting scheduled at each of the available times. Additionally, the scheduling platform may determine a joint probability of a multibook instance in which two or more invitations to meetings scheduled at a same time may be accepted. The scheduling platform selects the time for the new meeting based on the probability of acceptance and/or the joint probability of the multibook instance. The scheduling platform may deliver invitations that have a higher probability of acceptance in order to maximize a density of accepted meetings on a representative calendar.
