Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication system may use machine learning techniques to classify teams of the system, determine discount messaging for teams of the system, or both. The group-based communication system may receive concurrency data for a team of users and may input the concurrency data (e.g., with one or more other features associated with the team) into a machine learning model to generate a classifier for the team. The classifier may indicate whether the team is a work team, an educational team, or a social team. Based on the classifier for the team, the system may send a message to at least one user of the team (e.g., an administrative user). In some examples, the system may use another machine learning model to generate a discount message for sending to the at least one user based on the team classifier.
