Abstract: Techniques of electronic message generation using organizational data are disclosed herein. One example technique includes recognizing a contact a user previously communicated with in an input to an address field of a draft email in the email client. The technique can then include determining whether the input also contains a preset keyword or key phrase indicating an intention of the user to send the draft email to a related entity of the contact. In response to determining that the input also contains a preset keyword or key phrase, the technique includes querying a relationship map corresponding to the contact for an identity and email address of the related entity of the contact and surface the identity and email address in the email client as a suggested destination address for selection by the user.

Abstract: A high percentage of received communications are from external entities. In response to receiving a communication from a sender associated with an entity, the entity may be authenticated and contextualized by retrieving and processing contact information for people at the entity that are directly and/or indirectly associated with a recipient of the communication. For example, contact information for people at the entity who have previously communicated with and/or are connected to the recipient or users related to the recipient, for example, may be retrieved from one or more directory services, social networks, and/or professional networks. The contact information may be processed to create corresponding contact objects, and the contact objects may be processed to create an entity object for the entity that comprises one or more connections between the recipient and the people at the entity. The entity object may be provided to the recipient for display.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for electronic communication and file reference association. In an example, a file reference may refer to file content stored by a file service. The file reference may be used to share the file content in an electronic communication among a plurality of users. The file reference may be identified within the electronic communication, and may be used to generate a file node. The file node may store information relating to the file content and/or file reference. A message node associated with the electronic communication may be created, which may be associated with the file node. The file node may later be used to identify electronic communications relating to the file reference. Thus, electronic communications relating to the file reference may be accessible to a user using the file reference or by searching, rather than manually identifying related electronic communications.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for selecting at least one people highlight, with respect to a person of interest, to be shown on one or more user devices. The user device is monitored to determine a user interest in a person of interest. A set of possible people highlights, with respect to the person of interest is determined. A determination is made as to whether any of the possible people highlights should be suppressed and not presented to the user on the user device. Any people highlights that were determined to be people highlights that should be suppressed and not presented are removed to create a remaining set of possible people highlights. At least one of the remaining set of possible people highlights are presented on the user device.

Abstract: Controlling access to nodes in a relational graph at query time by using an approximate membership query (AMQ) filter and ordered queries based on historic grants or denials of access according to security context enables a more efficient querying of the relational graph while preserving access controls. Security contexts that grant or deny access to a node are stored in an associated AMQ filter and are queried according to the subject's security context in an order based on the frequency at which the security contexts have previously granted or denied access to nodes in the relational graph.
