  • Patent number: 11714966
    Abstract: Providing cognitive responses with an electronic message system includes predicting an urgency level corresponding to an electronic message received by the system based on detecting pre-defined features within the message and assigning a classification to the message based on the detected features. The message and corresponding urgency level can be mapped to a response action based on the classification assigned to the message. A notification of the response action and corresponding urgency level can be generated.

  • Patent number: 11657235
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: inputs of emotion time series data of a user and environmental factor data from one or more data collection device for a user assistance service. A baseline emotion time series is generated and an environmental factor that is likely to have affected changes in state of emotion on a subject is identified by regression analysis. An emotion time series model for the identified environmental factor is produced and prediction of a path to attain a target state of emotion at a certain time in the future is made. Recommendation to achieve the target state of emotion is produced based on the predicted path.

  • Patent number: 11615129
    Abstract: Electronic message text classification framework selection is described. An incoming electronic message is classified using a current text classification framework. A classification of the electronic message by the current text classification framework is scored. A cost of re-training the current text classification is compared against a cost of switching to a different text classification framework. One of multiple text classification frameworks, which includes the current text classification framework and other text classification frameworks, is selected based on the score of the classification by the current text classification framework and a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11488616
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for improved call quality during telephony sessions. The speech quality of an active voice session is periodically evaluated using multiple noise reduction algorithms. In an instance where the speech quality of the currently used noise reduction algorithm is below the quality of another noise reduction algorithm, the telephony system may switch to a new noise reduction algorithm as the currently used (active) noise reduction algorithm in order to improve call quality during an active voice session.
