  • Publication number: 20240427982
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for evaluating quality of changes to a collaborative document. Data corresponding to text, metadata, and comments associated with a document is received based on detecting a change to the document. The received data is analyzed based on term frequency, collocations including bigrams and trigrams, and colligates associated with the document. The analyzed data is compared to a corpus of documents from a domain associated with the document. A list of frequencies and collocates associated with the data is generated based on the comparison. An agreement score corresponding to agreement between comments, metadata, and document text is calculated based on the list of frequencies and collocates. The change to the document is caused to be displayed to a user based on the calculated agreement score.

  • Patent number: 12020208
    Abstract: Using data of a plurality of interactions within a collaborative network, a collaborative network graph is constructed. Each node in the collaborative network graph represents a participant in an interaction, and each edge in the collaborative network graph represents an interaction between participants represented by corresponding nodes. Using a plurality of stochastic simulations of changes to the collaborative network graph, integration of a new node into the collaborative network is simulated. A simulation in the plurality of stochastic simulations producing a largest score improvement between scores computed on the collaborative network graph is selected as a best simulation. Using a plurality of changes to the collaborative network graph included in the best simulation, an integration recommendation is constructed, in which a portion of the integration recommendation corresponds to a change in the plurality of changes.

  • Patent number: 12014330
    Abstract: Participant inclusion determination can include generating a textual analysis of a draft of an electronic communication in response to a sender preparing the draft for conveyance over an electronic communications network. A word relevance score can be computed for each word of the draft based on the textual analysis. Probabilistically weighted distances between the sender, an initial recipient of the electronic communication, and more additional recipient candidates for additionally receiving the electronic communication can be determined. The probabilistically weighted distances can correspond to hierarchical distances within a hierarchical structure corresponding to an organization in which the sender, the initial recipient, and one or more additional recipient candidates are members.
