System and method for message reaction analysis

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting and analyzing user reactions to messages received. One of the methods includes obtaining reaction data characterizing a reaction of a first user to a communication sent by a second user using a first communication service, wherein the first communication service allows users to react to received communications by selecting from a predetermined set of proprietary reactions that are supported by the first communication service; analyzing the reaction data to generate standardized reaction data that characterizes a sentiment of the reaction of the first user to the communication; mapping the standardized reaction data to one or more proprietary reactions from the predetermined set of proprietary reactions that are supported by the first communication service; and providing, to the first communication service, data identifying the one or more proprietary reactions.
