Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods for efficiently monitoring and following up on delivered messages for which a user expects and/or requires a reply. The disclosed functionality provides a fully automated, personalized, easy and efficient way to identify and manage outgoing mail messages that require reply by marking outbound messages as RSVP messages, which are those messages determined to require a reply. Such functionality is based on the ability of the disclosed framework to distinguish between a “satisfactory response” (i.e., a response that includes the required information) and a response that is not.

Abstract: As is disclosed herein, user behavior in connection with a number of electronic messages, such as electronic mail (email) messages, can be used to automatically learn from, and predict, whether a message is wanted or unwanted by the user, where an unwanted message is referred to herein as gray spam. A gray spam predictor is personalized for a given user in vertical learning that uses the user's electronic message behavior and horizontal learning that uses other users' message behavior. The gray spam predictor can be used to predict whether a new message for the user is, or is not, gray spam. A confidence in a prediction may be used in determining the disposition of the message, such as and without limitation placing the message in a spam folder, a gray spam folder and/or requesting input from the user regarding the disposition of the message, for example.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods automatically perform an implicit message search without requiring or actually receiving a user search query. The disclosed search framework automatically identifies of a set of messages in a mailbox that are related to a specific message m, and this message set is presented to the user from within the mailbox. The message set is retrieved without a user formulating and entering a search query, or without having to switch the state of the mailbox. The retrieved messages are provided as a type of “thread” functionality that provides a “thread” for those messages having related subject matter to message m.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to providing a recommendation for subscribing to or unsubscribing from an electronic communication. In one example, actions of a user are obtained with respect to electronic communications of the user. One or more categories of the electronic communications are determined. A state of the user is determined based on the actions and the one or more categories. The state is either a discovery state indicating that the user expresses an interest to receive electronic communications associated with a specific category or a cleaning state indicating that the user lacks an interest in one or more received electronic communications. A subscribe recommendation for subscribing to electronic communications associated with the specific category is provided when the state is determined to be a discovery state.

Abstract: Enhancing performance in a multicasting system. Flow rates in a multicasting system are monitored as system characteristics change. The multicasting system is operated based on a first mapping between data flows and multicasting groups. Data is disseminated by way of the mapping to subscribers to one or more of the data flows. The flow rate thresholds of satisfied flows are decreased to minimize the difference between the flow rate thresholds and respective target transmission rates of the satisfied flows, as the system's feasible data transmission workload is maintained with respect to subscriber reception rate capacities. The flow rate thresholds of unsatisfied flows are increased to minimize the difference between the flow rate threshold and respective target transmission rates for the unsatisfied flows and to limit occurrences of data transmission delays or losses, as the system's feasible data transmission workload is maintained with respect to subscriber reception rate capacities.

Abstract: Relevant messages, or “hero results”, which are not ranked at the uppermost part of a time-based listing of search results are identified and such hero results can be displayed apart from the time-based listing of search results. A user can be provided with messages in a time-based presentation as well as messages in a relevance-based presentation. The user can be presented with the most relevant messages from a set of message generated from a search query, even where the most relevant messages are not the most recent ones.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for anonymizing electronic documents. In accordance with one or more embodiments, structurally-similar electronic documents can be identified among a group of electronic documents (e.g., e-mail messages, documents containing HTML formatting, etc.). A hash function can be specifically tailored to identify the similarly structured documents. The structurally-similar electronic documents can be grouped into a same equivalence class. Masked anonymized document samples can be generated from the structurally-similar electronic documents utilizing the same equivalence class, thereby ensuring that the anonymized document samples when viewed as a part of an audit remain anonymous. An online process is provided to guarantee k-anonymity of the users over the entire lifetime of the auditing process. An auditor's productivity can be measured based on the amount of content revealed to the auditor within the samples he is assigned.
