Objects are ranked according to user preferences by first observing the access order of a related group of objects in relation to a predetermined access hypothesis. A user preference model is then adapted to correspond to any deviations between the access order and the access hypothesis for the related group of objects. Next, object preferences are calculated for each of the objects to be ranked according to the preference model. The group of objects is then presented to the user in an order corresponding to the calculated object preferences. The preference model is adaptively updated, unbeknownst to the user, in the normal course of accessing the presented objects.Field of SearchQuery augmenting and refining (e.g., inexact access) | |
