摘要： A system and method for managing digests comprising electronic messages is presented. A selection criteria that defines message-based content for a digest is defined. Properties and characteristics of the content of the digest are defined. A delivery criteria that specifies periodic sending of the digest is accepted. The digest is constructed as a set of electronic messages. A dynamic stream of the electronic messages is monitored. One or more of the electronic messages is evaluated by filtering the electronic messages against the selection criteria. Only those electronic messages that satisfy the selection criteria are grouped into the digest to which the selection criteria corresponds. The digest is periodically delivered upon satisfaction of the delivery criteria.

摘要： A system and method for presenting message threads is provided. A main body and one or more excerpts are parsed from each of a plurality of messages into nodes structured to form a message tree through a procedural top-down recursive descent. The nodes in the message tree are related by determining line-group types for the main body and the excerpts of each message, which are enumerated into partitions for each of the line-group types. An output network of alternative paths through the messages is created based upon the partitions of the message tree. A document is formed from the output network to identify and remove redundant components in each message.

摘要： The method and apparatus of the present invention identifies the logical components of a message, determines the conversational relationships among messages and then structures and formats the core components into a single document to facilitate efficient assimilation of the structure and content of the contained conversations. The message analysis technique delineates the material to be retained and omitted using a combination of a recursive descent analyzer and a single weighted finite state machine for the core process.

摘要： A system and method for clustering nodes of a tree structure is provided. A plurality of messages is maintained. Each message is represented as a node in a tree structure. A word vector is assigned to each message. Pairs of the nodes are identified based on relationships in the tree structure. The nodes of one or more of the pairs are combined into clusters. Boundaries of each cluster are adjusted, including at least one of placing a root node into one such duster having a closest related child node, separating children nodes into distinct groups and retaining a relationship between a parent node and one such group including a nearest child node, and transferring a parent node to one such cluster having all children of the parent node. A digest of the messages, including one or more of the clusters is formed.

摘要： A method is provided for digesting the content of hierarchically related information. The method, which obtains relatively short overviews, selects a proportion of representative nodes and then extracts and organizes one or more sentences from the text associated with each selected node. For text trees representing archived discussions, the selection of nodes and sentences is from comment/response sequences drawn from lexically central nodes which will capture those aspects of the discussion considered most important to discussion participants.

摘要： The invention provides a sequence of increasingly detailed presentation levels to assist a user in deciding whether a thread is of interest. If so, the text of the threaded messages is presented at a level of detail corresponding to the user's level of indicated interest. In particular, the invention provides a method comprising creating a message collection viewing cascade including a plurality of viewing levels for presenting one or more message threads and abbreviated forms of one or more messages, abbreviating at least one of the messages using one of a plurality of abbreviation techniques, and formatting each abbreviated message to be displayed at one of the plurality of viewing levels in the message collection viewing cascade. Each abbreviation technique specifies a manner in which the messages can be abbreviated, and each viewing level in the collection viewing cascade offers a different degree of detail for presenting the abbreviated forms of the messages.
