MULTI-TIERED APPROACH TO E-MAIL PRIORITIZATION

摘要

A method of automating incoming message prioritization. The method including training a global classifier of a computer system using training data. Dynamically training a user- specific classifier of the computer system based on a plurality of feedback instances. Inferring a topic of the incoming message received by the computer system based on a topic- based user model. Computing a plurality of contextual features of the incoming message. Determining a priority classification strategy for assigning a priority level to the incoming message based on the computed contextual features of the incoming message and a weighted combination of the global classifier and the user specific classifier. Classifying the incoming message based on the priority classification strategy.
