Technologies for determining whether to send notification messages, from different sources, to a target user are provided. The disclosed techniques include receiving a first notification event from a first notification service and receiving a second notification event from a second notification service. The first and second notification services are different services. Using a machine-learned model to assign a first score to the first notification event and a second score to the second notification event. Based on the first score, a determination is made to generate a first notification message for the first notification event. The first notification message is then sent to a target user. Based on the second score, a determination is made not to generate a second notification message for the second notification event.

Multi-objective, multi-input, efficient decoupling holistic platform for communication selection

A notification platform for distribution of notification content in an on-line social network system addresses the technical problem of optimizing the volume of quality notifications that are being delivered to a given member. A notification delivery system is designed as a stream processing system that can fetch, store, and process data in a near-line fashion. It can perform feature generation, processing and scoring of notifications, as well as ranking of the notifications based on their respective relevance scores that are calculated using machine learning techniques. The notification delivery system is positioned centrally with respect to different producers of notifications, such that it can consume centrally-stored information about members' holistic notification experiences.
