Ranking messages of conversation graphs in a messaging platform using machine-learning signals

Abstract:

According to an aspect, a method for ranking messages of conversation graphs in a messaging platform using machine-learning signals includes receiving a conversation view request to retrieve messages of a conversation graph stored on a messaging platform and determining a plurality of predictive outcomes for each of a plurality of messages of the conversation graph using predictive models. The determining step may include obtaining a plurality of signals relevant to the predictive models, the plurality of signals including data structure-related signals relating to the conversation graph and inputting the plurality of signals to the predictive models. The method includes ranking the plurality of messages based on the predictive outcomes and transmitting at least a subset of the plurality of messages to be rendered on a client application according to the rank.
