Abstract

A server system receives a message associated with a user. The server extracts message signals from the message, the extracted message signals including a first plurality of message signals. The server generates an importance weight for each message signal of the first plurality of message signals using both a global importance prediction model and a user importance prediction model. The global importance prediction model is based on information associated with multiple users, and the user importance prediction model is based on information associated with the user. The server determines an importance score for the message based on the generated importance weights of the first plurality of message signals. The server sends message information for the message along with information regarding importance of the message for display at a client device, where the information regarding importance of the message is based at least on the determined importance score.
