Automatic Assignment of Tasks to Users in Collaborative Projects

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing device being configured to implement the following steps:
• obtaining a description of a plurality of tasks of a collaborative project;
• obtaining a first vector representation of a context of at least one of the plurality of tasks;
• obtaining a second vector representation of a context of at least one user;
• determining a similarity between one or more first vector representations and one or more second vector representations using one or more similarity criteria;
• and
• assigning the at least one task to the at least one user based at least in part on the similarity.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform the following steps:

• obtaining a description of a plurality of tasks of a collaborative project;
• obtaining a first vector representation of a context of at least one of the plurality of tasks;
• obtaining a second vector representation of a context of at least one user;
• determining a similarity between one or more first vector representations and one or more second vector representations using one or more similarity criteria;
• and
• assigning the at least one task to the at least one user based at least in part on the similarity.
