Worked on the self learning pattern engine today. It's getting smarter about email patterns for each domain.
Whenever it encounters a new domain, it starts off with 17 different pattern formats. As more data comes in, the engine begins recognizing which patterns are more common for that specific domain. It gradually narrows down the possibilities, getting more accurate over time.
This works well especially with unique domains that don't follow the usual first.last style. It’s fascinating to see it adapt and improve as it processes more emails.
The challenge is keeping it flexible enough to adjust if a domain changes its format. Had to make sure it doesn't stick too rigidly to one pattern once it thinks it knows the best match.
Also, matched this up with the existing domain intelligence features. Together, they really boost the accuracy of email finding.
