Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to implement a cognitive system for capturing referential information. The cognitive system receives a first indication that a group text messaging conversation is in a muted state for a first user. The cognitive system detects a first use of a referential phrase in the group text messaging conversation during a first time period when the group text messaging conversation is in the muted state. The cognitive system receives a second indication that the group text messaging conversation is in a non-muted state. The cognitive system detects a second use of the referential phrase in the group text messaging conversation during a second time period when the group text messaging conversation is in the non-muted state. The second time period is subsequent to the first time period. The cognitive system alters a message containing the second use of the referential phrase within the group text messaging conversation.
