Determining an effect on dissemination of information related to an event based on a dynamic confidence level associated with the event
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a message of a user, wherein the message includes a plurality of terms and is an electronic communication sent or received by the user;
determining an event based on the message, wherein the event includes one or more event properties that are determined based on one or more of the terms;
determining an event confidence level for the event based on the event properties;
determining, based on the event confidence level, an effect on dissemination of information related to the event,wherein the dissemination of information is related to a computer application;
identifying a new message of the user that is associated with the event and that is an additional electronic communication sent or received by the user subsequent to the message;
determining, based on the new message being associated with the event, a new event confidence level for the event based on the new message, wherein the new event confidence level is determined subsequent to the event confidence level; and
adjusting, based on the new event confidence level, the effect on the dissemination of information related to the event, wherein adjusting the effect on the dissemination of information comprises;
determining, based on the new event confidence level, an influence on the dissemination of information, the influence on the dissemination of information being reflected in output provided to the user via the computer application.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus related to determining an effect on dissemination of information related to an event based on a dynamic confidence level associated with the event. For example, an event and an event confidence level of the event may be determined based on a message of a user. An effect on dissemination of information related to the event may be determined based on the confidence level. A new confidence level may be determined based on additional data associated with the event and the effect on dissemination of information may be adjusted based on the new confidence level. In some implementations, the additional data may be based on a new message that is related to the message, such as a reply to the message.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing at least one program configured for execution by at least one processor of a computer system, the at least one program comprising instructions to:
-
identify a message of a user, wherein the message includes a plurality of terms and is an electronic communication sent or received by the user; determine an event based on the message, wherein the event includes one or more event properties that are determined based on one or more of the terms; determine an event confidence level for the event based on the event properties; determine, based on the event confidence level, an effect on dissemination of information related to the event, wherein the dissemination of information is related to a computer application; identify a new message of the user that is associated with the event and that is an additional electronic communication sent or received by the user subsequent to the message; determine, based on the new message being associated with the event, a new event confidence level for the event based on the new message, wherein the new event confidence level is determined subsequent to the event confidence level; and adjust, based on the new event confidence level, the effect on the dissemination of information related to the event, wherein the instructions to adjust the effect on the dissemination of information comprise instructions to; determine, based on the new event confidence level, an influence on the dissemination of information, the influence on the dissemination of information being reflected in output provided to the user via the computer application.
