  • Publication number: 20230334247
    Abstract: A system is provided for machine-learning based identification and filtering of electronic network communication. In particular, the system may continuously monitor and pull electronic communications data from one or more networked computing systems in an enterprise environment. Based on the electronic communications data, the system may use machine learning algorithms to generate a database of associations between one or more users and one or more topics of interest. The system may then output one or more recommendations to one or more users for transmitting communications associated with the one or more topics of interest. In this way, the system may improve the efficiency of communications received and transmitted within a network.
