Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a first set of inputs from a first plurality of users. A history of interactions and/or collaborations of a first group of users of the first plurality of users is accessed. A latent class model of the first plurality of users is generated using information obtained from the accessing. It is determined from the latent class model whether any of the first plurality of users exceed a predetermined threshold of relatability. Users of the first plurality of users that are determined to exceed the predetermined threshold are allowed access to a generated first state of a forum. Users of the first plurality of users that are determined to not exceed the predetermined threshold and the users of the first plurality of users that are determined to exceed the predetermined threshold are allowed access to a generated second state of the forum.
