Patent number: 11277453Abstract: Communication between a plurality of users on one or more media platforms is analyzed. A model of the communication that reflects trends of the communication is generated. Using the model, it is determined that a current communication between a first and second user of the media platform is relatively less efficient than a potential communication between the first user and a third user of the media platform. In response to determining that the current communication is relatively less efficient than the potential communication, the current communication is directed to the third person.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeremy R.
