Abstract

In the typical state of an ever growing mailbox, it becomes essential to assist the user to better organize and quickly look up the content of his electronic life. Our work addresses this challenge, by identifying related messages within a user's mailbox. We study the notion of semantic relatedness between email messages and aim to offer the user with a wider context of the message he selects or reads. The context is represented by a small set of messages that are semantically related to the given message. We conduct experiments on a large-scale mail dataset obtained from a major Web mail service and demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in this task.
