Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are described with respect to a system, method, and computer product for generating relevance alerts. An associated method includes analyzing a multi-party discussion based on a generated profile associated with a user and assigning at least one relevance value associated with the user to the multi-party discussion based on the analysis and an amount of multi-party discussion participation associated with the user. The method further includes generating an alert for the user to participate in the multi-party discussion in response to determining the relevance value exceeding a relevance threshold associated with the multi-party discussion.
