Abstract:
A computer implemented method for defining a task model used as a basis for a delivery of content to a user, the task model being a clustering of similar tasks based on stored objects used by at least one computer based application in response to user input steps, the method comprising steps of:a) generating a log record when the at least one computer-based application uses a stored object, wherein the log record includes an identification of the stored object used by the at least one computer-based application, and wherein an object usage log is defined by a set of log records; b) generating a uniform format object usage log from the object usage log; c) generating a log of tasks by defining task boundaries in the uniform format object usage log, wherein the log of tasks is defined by records having a task identifier; and d) generating the task model based on the log of tasks in which similar tasks are clustered, wherein the task model includes records having a task identifier and a cluster identifier.
