Abstract
Methods and apparatus related to determining and scoring task indications. For example, methods and apparatus may determine a plurality of interrogative sentences in a plurality of messages, determine starting n-grams of the interrogative sentences, determine task indications based on the starting n-grams, and determine task association scores for the task indications. Each task indication may be determined based on a set of one or more starting n-grams that share similarities. One or more individuals and/or applications may assign one or more task association measures to a task indication based on likelihood that the task indication is associated with a task request. The task association score for the task indication may be determined based on the task association measures that are assigned to the task indication.
