At least one target in a speech of a first speaker during an electronic conference is identified. A closest vector between the identified target and a group of possible matches for the target is determined. A most similar match for the identified target is determined based on a current usage context for the identified target, a history of stored information associated with the first speaker and the identified target, and the determined closest vector. The most similar match to a set of participants of the electronic conference is displayed.

Using data of a plurality of interactions within a collaborative network, a collaborative network graph is constructed. Each node in the collaborative network graph represents a participant in an interaction, and each edge in the collaborative network graph represents an interaction between participants represented by corresponding nodes. Using a plurality of stochastic simulations of changes to the collaborative network graph, integration of a new node into the collaborative network is simulated. A simulation in the plurality of stochastic simulations producing a largest score improvement between scores computed on the collaborative network graph is selected as a best simulation. Using a plurality of changes to the collaborative network graph included in the best simulation, an integration recommendation is constructed, in which a portion of the integration recommendation corresponds to a change in the plurality of changes.

Dynamically integrating nodes into a collaborate network

Participant inclusion determination can include generating 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. A word relevance score can be computed for each word of the draft based on the textual analysis. Probabilistically weighted distances between the sender, an initial recipient of the electronic communication, and more additional recipient candidates for additionally receiving the electronic communication can be determined. The probabilistically weighted distances can correspond to hierarchical distances within a hierarchical structure corresponding to an organization in which the sender, the initial recipient, and one or more additional recipient candidates are members. At least one of the additional recipient candidates can be selected for receiving the electronic communication over the electronic communications network based on the word relevance scores and the probabilistically weighted distances.
