Claim 0:
1. A method for determining collaboration recommendations from file path information, the method comprising:
gathering a set of pathnames of content objects in a collaboration platform;
converting at least some of the set of pathnames of the content objects into vectors, wherein
a vector includes both a directory hierarchy representation and an interaction attribute,
the vectors are stored in a feature vector data structure,
the feature vector data structure comprises a data record describing an object identifier of a content object of the content objects, a list of one or more users interacting with the content object, information of an interaction type for a pair of the content object and a user of the list of one or more users, and one or more attributes pertaining to the directory hierarchy representation,
the directory hierarchy representation stored in the vector comprises a first file path token and a second file path token,
the first file path token comprises at least a first name string representing a first hierarchy of a pathname associated with a directory hierarchy having multiple levels,
the second file path token comprises at least a second name string representing a second hierarchy of the pathname associated with the directory hierarchy,
the first hierarchy is located at a different level of the multiple levels from the second hierarchy in the directory hierarchy representation, and
the interaction attribute represents an interaction event that corresponds to an operation that is observed to have been performed by a specific user or by a system for the specific user over a specific content object to indicate presence or absence of the interaction event between the specific user and the specific content object;

generating a predictive model from at least some of the vectors and respective interaction attributes; and
providing a recommended content object at least by providing an input pertaining to a plurality of content objects to the predictive model and at least by applying the predictive model to the input to determine one or more respective statistic measures pertaining to the plurality of content objects, wherein a collaboration recommendation pertaining to the recommended content object comprises at least one of a folder or a file.
