A System for Email Recipient Prediction
The ability to accurately predict recipients of an email, while it is being composed, is of great practical importance for two reasons. First, prediction of recipients allows for effective "auto complete" of this field, thereby improving user experience and reducing the overhead of manual typing of the recipient. Second, this capability allows the system to alert the user when she has typed unlikely recipients. Such alerts can help avoid human error that might result in forgetting relevant recipients, or, even worse, disclosure of personal or classified information.In this article, a system that effectively predicts email recipients, given an email history, will be presented. The system takes into consideration a variety of email related features to achieve high accuracy. Extensive experimentation on diverse email corpora has shown that our system adapts well to a variety of domains (such as business, personal and political email)
