Abstract
Summarization-based electronic message actions are described. A system includes a monitor to monitor an electronic communication stream, which electronic communication stream includes past electronic messages between various users. A summarizer of the system 1) determines, based on an output of the monitor, a desired summarization level for a current electronic message having certain characteristics and 2) determines a current summarization level for the current electronic message. When the current summarization level is different than the desired summarization level, an action engine takes an action against the current electronic message.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a monitor to monitor an electronic communication stream, wherein the electronic communication stream comprises past electronic messages between various users;
- a summarizer to:
- determine, based on an output of the monitor, a desired summarization level for a current electronic message having certain characteristics;
- and
- determine a current summarization level for the current electronic message;
- and
- an action engine to, when the current summarization level is different than the desired summarization level, take an action against the current electronic message.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring past electronic messages between various users;
- determining a desired summarization level for a current electronic message having certain characteristics based on past electronic messages that have the same certain characteristics;
- determining a current summarization level for the current electronic message;
- evaluating a difference between the desired summarization level and the current summarization level;
- and
- when the current summarization level is different than the desired summarization level, taking an action against the current electronic message.
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- monitor an electronic communication stream, wherein the electronic communication stream comprises past electronic messages between various users;
- determine a desired summarization level for a current electronic message having certain characteristics based on past electronic messages that have the same certain characteristics, wherein the certain characteristics comprise participants and topics;
- determine a current summarization level for the current electronic message;
- evaluate a difference between the desired summarization level and the current summarization level;
- and
- when the current summarization level is different than the current summarization level, take an action against the current electronic message.
