  • Publication number: 20170220934
    Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein to a Discussion Relevance Engine that filters a plurality of discussions in a social network to identify a discussion pool. The Discussion Relevance Engine identifies a plurality of eligible discussions in the discussion pool, wherein each eligible discussion corresponds to a respective social network member group to which a target member account has previously subscribed. The Discussion Relevance Engine calculates, for each eligible discussion, a relevance score predictive of a relevance of the eligible discussion to the target member account. The Discussion Relevance Engine recommends at least one of the eligible discussions to the target member account based at least in part on the calculated relevance scores.
