Generating a relevance score for direct digital messages based on crowdsourced information and social-network signals

Abstract:

This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that receive a direct digital message for delivery to a recipient and then generate a relevance score representing the direct digital message's relevance to the recipient. The relevance score accounts for either or both of crowdsourced information and social-network signals. Based on the relevance score, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems either provide the direct digital message to the recipient's client device for display within a received-messages preview or provide the message to the recipient's client device for sequestration within a sequestration folder.
