Abstract: A tool for managing message notifications in a computing environment includes a computer determining a user receives a notification of a first message received in a collaboration application on a computing device of the user, and determining a topic for the first message. The computer then determines whether the user suppresses the notification of the first message, and if so, the computer stores the topic for the first message associated with an indication the user suppressed the notification for the collaboration application. The computer further determines a second message is received, determines a topic of the second message, and then determines whether the user previously suppressed the topic of the second message. If the user previously suppressed the topic of the second message, the computer suppresses a notification for the second message.

Abstract: A computer system for parsing bulk message information into intelligent question retrieval models receives text-based data associated with a particular user. The system encodes the word into a context-dependent vector, wherein the context-dependent vector indicates the meaning of the word across a semantic space. The system also identifies within a context-independent database a context-independent vector that is associated with the word. Further, the system generates an objective output by combining the context-dependent vector and the context-independent vector. Further still, the system generates a sentence encoding representation by processing at least a portion of the text-based data through a high-level feature embedded convolutional semantic model to generate numerical representations of questions and answers within the text-based dataset. The sentence encoding representation is generated at least in part based upon the objective output.
