Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to provide optimized scheduling of calendar events based on flexibility scores of calendar events. A flexibility score may be representative of a probability or likelihood that a calendar event can or will be rescheduled in response to a conflicting calendar event. Flexibility scores of calendar events may be calculated based on one or more factors, which may be weighted, using one or more machine-learning models. Factors may include: event densities of invitees' calendars, organizational rankings of respective invitees, the remaining time before an event start time, an urgency of respective calendar events, etc. In this way, if open time slots are not available for all invitees to a proposed calendar request, an event organizer may identify time slots occupied by existing calendar events with the highest likelihood of being rescheduled in view of the proposed calendar event, thereby facilitating scheduling of the proposed calendar event.
