Contributions collection based on parsed electronic communications by a QA system which generates a reply indicating a contributor, their contribution and a confidence level

Abstract:

An approach is provided that provides a recognition, engagement and evaluation system. The approach analyzes textual communications between users with the analysis revealing a contribution made by one of the users, called a contributor. The approach further identifies at least one decision maker based on an organizational relationship between the identified decision maker and the contributor and transmits the identification (name, etc.) of the contributor and the contribution made by the contributor to the identified decision maker, provided as a reply comprising a confidence level by a Question Answer system.
