Context-based notification processing system

Abstract

In some implementations, a method may involve determining first feature vectors for a plurality of data items accessed by a user of one or more client devices, the first feature vectors representing first contextual data about the one or more client devices at times that respective data items of the plurality of data items were accessed, the plurality of data items including a first data item. A predictive model, configured to classify input feature vectors into context types, may be used to determine that the first feature vector for the first data item is classified as a first context type. A second feature vector representing second contextual data about a first client device operated by the user may be determined and the predictive model may be used to determined that the second feature vector is classified as the first context type. Based at least in part on the first and second feature vectors being classified as the first context type and the first and second data items being of a first data item type, the first client device may be caused to present the second data item.

         1 . A method, comprising:
 generating, by a computing system, at least first and second notifications to be sent to a client device operated by a user, the first and second notifications indicating, respectively, first and second events of first and second applications accessible by the user;   receiving, by the computing system from the client device, first data indicative of a current context of the client device; and   sending, by the computing system and based at least in part on the first data, the first notification, but not the second notification, to the client device.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein generating the first and second notifications further comprises:
 causing the first and second notifications to include respective user interface elements enabling the user to take corresponding actions with respect to the first and second applications.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first data comprises at least one of an identifier of the client device, a current time, a network to which the client device is connected, or a location of the client device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 prior to receiving the first data, receiving, by the computing system, second data indicative of one or more other notifications accessed by the user operating one or more client devices, and a context of the one or more client devices when the one or more other notifications were accessed by the user;   wherein sending the first notification, but not the second notification, to the client device is further based at least in part on the second data.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the client device, a request for a context-based view of an activity feed of notifications, the request including the first data;   wherein sending the first notification to the client device is performed in response to the request.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
