In an electronic communication system, relevance levels of an incoming or
outgoing message for presenting it to an interlocutor is measured without
having to actually interact with the interlocutor, by a method comprising
the steps of extracting from the message, a flow of digital signals
pertaining to transmission/reception context features, to content of the
message and/or to other interlocutors with the interlocutor; weighting
probabilistically the digital signals by means of indicators of relative
and interrelated frequencies of occurrences of the same digital signals
extracted from previous messages; from the results of the above steps,
auto-generating a Bayesian network that allows the interlocutor to obtain
a probabilistic prediction on the attractiveness of sent/received signals
or messages, or find most probably interested interlocutors for a given
information or message, each node of the Bayesian network being
associated with a signal.
