Method and system for measuring interest levels of digital messages
First Claim
1. In an electronic communication system, a method for measuring attractiveness of incoming and outgoing messages, the method comprising the steps of:
- extracting from each of the incoming and outgoing messages, a flow of digital signals pertaining to transmission or reception context features, to content of the message, and to other interlocutors in relation with a particular interlocutor;
measuring, by machine capture and computation, relative and interrelated frequencies of occurrences of the same digital signals extracted from previous messages;
measuring, by machine capture and computation, a frequency of feedback response, for each data content, interlocutor, and context feature;
measuring, by machine capture and computation, a frequency of feedback response for presence of a combination of content and interlocutor and context feature;
calculating, from the frequencies of feedback response, interrelated and relative probability of triggering an interaction between two interlocutors based on identification of presence of the combination of content, interlocutor, and context feature; and
from results of the extracting and measuring steps, auto-generating a Bayesian network without an initial model, the Bayesian network to be used to obtain a probabilistic prediction on an attractiveness of the incoming and outgoing messages, and to find most probably interested interlocutors for each outgoing message, each node of the Bayesian network being associated with a respective digital signal that represents one of a data content, interlocutor, and context feature.

Abstract
In an electronic communication system, relevance levels of an incoming or outgoing message for presenting it to an interlocutor is measured without having to actually interact with the interlocutor, by a method comprising the steps of extracting from the message, a flow of digital signals pertaining to transmission/reception context features, to content of the message and/or to other interlocutors with the interlocutor; weighting probabilistically the digital signals by means of indicators of relative and interrelated frequencies of occurrences of the same digital signals extracted from previous messages; from the results of the above steps, auto-generating a Bayesian network that allows the interlocutor to obtain a probabilistic prediction on the attractiveness of sent/received signals or messages, or find most probably interested interlocutors for a given information or message, each node of the Bayesian network being associated with a signal.

11. A system for measuring relevance levels of incoming and outgoing messages associated with a particular interlocutor, the system comprising:
-
means for extracting from each message a flow of digital signals pertaining to transmission or reception context features, to content of the message, and to other interlocutors in relation with the particular interlocutor; means for weighting probabilistically the digital signals using indicators of relative and interrelated frequencies of occurrences of the same digital signals extracted from previous messages and for auto-generating, from the probabilistic weights, a Bayesian network without an initial model, the Bayesian network providing a probabilistic prediction on an attractiveness of the incoming and outgoing messages, and most probably interested other interlocutors for each outgoing message, each node of the Bayesian network being associated with a respective digital signal; means for displaying the probabilistic prediction on the attractiveness of the incoming and outgoing messages, and the most probably interested other interlocutors for each outgoing message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer program product in a computer-readable storage medium in which instructions are embodied for measuring relevance levels of incoming and outgoing messages associated with a particular interlocutor, the instructions when executed causing a computer to:
-
extract from each message a flow of digital signals pertaining to transmission or reception context features, to content of the message, and to other interlocutors in relation with the particular interlocutor; weight probabilistically the digital signals using indicators of relative and interrelated frequencies of occurrences of the same digital signals extracted from previous messages and for auto-generating, from the probabilistic weights, a Bayesian network without an initial model, the Bayesian network providing a probabilistic prediction on an attractiveness of the incoming and outgoing messages, and most probably interested other interlocutors for each outgoing message, each node of the Bayesian network being associated with a respective digital signal; and display, in a display device, the probabilistic prediction on the attractiveness and a list of the most probably interested other interlocutors. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
