Abstract
User behavior modeling can include determining temporal- or time-based actions performed by various users. From the mined temporal-based user actions, future actions can be predicted. Certain implementations include providing information and/or services based on the predicted future actions. Some implementations, include providing relevant information, services, and/or goods regarding the predicted future action.
Claims20
A method performed by one or more computing systems comprising:
- determining a population of users performing online actions, wherein determining the population includes indexing actions of users of the population over a particular time period;
- selecting from the population of users, a group of users that have performed particular time-based user actions that relate to a user behavior;
- and
- predicting a subsequent user action based at least in part upon the user behavior.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory coupled to the processor and comprising an action-prediction module that is configured to cause the one or more processors to:
- select, from a population of users, a group of users that have performed particular user actions during a particular time period, wherein the user actions are associated with a behavior model;
- and
- determine a subsequent action based at least in part upon the particular user actions.
A computer readable storage medium having computer readable instructions for performing steps comprising:
- determining a population of online users performing particular time-based online and offline actions;
- indexing the time-based actions of the online users;
- grouping a set of users from the population of online users based at least in part on a behavior pattern of the time-based actions;
- and
- predicting a subsequent action based at least in part on the behavior pattern.
