Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, the program instructions, which when executed by a computer hardware system including a participant inclusion system having a text analyzer, a relevance score determiner, a weighted distance determiner, and a communication recipient selector, cause the computer hardware system to perform:
generating, using the text analyzer, a textual analysis of a draft of an electronic communication in response to a sender preparing the draft for conveyance over an electronic communications network;
computing, using the relevance score determiner, word relevance scores for each word of the draft based on the textual analysis;
determining, using the weighted distance determiner, probabilistically weighted distances between the sender, an initial recipient of the electronic communication, and each of a plurality of recipient candidates for additionally receiving the electronic communication;
automatically selecting, using the communication recipient selector and based on the word relevance scores and the probabilistically weighted distances, at least one of the plurality of recipient candidates for receiving the electronic communication over the electronic communications network; and
causing a messaging platform to automatically populate the draft of the electronic communication with the selected at least one of the plurality of recipient candidates, wherein

the messaging platform generated the draft of the electronic communication,
the participant inclusion system is operatively coupled with the messaging platform,
the participant inclusion system causes the electronic communication to be automatically directed, via the messaging platform, to the selected at least one of the plurality of recipient candidates, and
a number of the selected at least one of the plurality of recipient candidates is less than a number of plurality of recipient candidates thereby reducing a number of electronic communications being sent by the messaging platform and increasing an operative capacity of the messaging platform.
