Using Context to Discern User Tasks on Desktop

Article Preview

Abstract:

The precise context of user tasks helps to ameliorate personal information management on desktop. This paper introduces a novel approach to discern user tasks using contextual information which is divided into two categories, user behavior based context and text based context. With the contextual information, user tasks are discerned by support vector machine (SVM) method. Experimental results showed the impact of distinct attributes of files on the performance of user task identification.
