Abstract
A method and system of determining a prioritized list of one or more users related to a given goal obtaining a set of places, determine one or more future places an expert associated with a given goal is predicted to visit to accomplish the given goal, obtain a history of one or more places users have visited, determine one or more historical places from the history of one or more places that match the future places, and identify one or more users associated with the determined one or more historical places.
Claims22
A method of determining a prioritized list of one or more users related to a given goal, comprising:
- obtaining a set of places by a processor;
- determining one or more future places an expert associated with a given goal is predicted to visit to accomplish the given goal;
- obtaining a history of one or more places users have visited;
- determining one or more historical places from the history of one or more places that match the future places;
- and
- identifying one or more users associated with the determined one or more historical places.
A system for determining a prioritized list of one or more users related to a given goal, comprising:
- historical model including a history of one or more places users have visited;
- a predictive model including one or more future places an expert associated with a given goal is predicted to visit to accomplish the given goal;
- a matching module operable to execute on a processor and to determine one or more historical places from the history of one or more places that match the future places, the matching module further operable to identify one or more users associated with the determined one or more historical places;
- and
- a user interface module operable to present the identified one or more users.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for determining a prioritized list of one or more users related to a given goal, comprising:
- obtaining a set of places;
- determining one or more future places an expert associated with a given goal is predicted to visit to accomplish the given goal;
- obtaining a history of one or more places users have visited;
- determining one or more historical places from the history of one or more places that match the future places;
- and
- identifying one or more users associated with the determined one or more historical places.
