Abstract
Systems and method for generating contact suggestions are provided in which one or more suggested contacts are identified from a set of contacts associated with a user. This includes identifying in historical communications in a user account associated with the user, one or more groups of contacts. Scores are generated for contacts in the identified groups of contacts, including generating a contact score for a respective contact by accumulating score contributions for a plurality of the identified groups of contacts that include the respective contact. One or more suggested contacts are identified in accordance with the generated scores. A contact suggestion is sent based on the suggested contacts for display to the user. The contact suggestion includes a suggested contact with a generated score that is above a predefined threshold.
