Abstract
A method and system, are provided herein, for automatic selection of one or more items (e.g., files, emails, etc.) in a user interface, based upon selection data received from a user (hard labels) and possibly also predicted (soft) labels (e.g., from a label prediction algorithm) based on behavior data associated with the selections. More particularly, a user selects and deselects items as positive and negative examples that are used as explicit labels to form an item selection list. The explicit labels are used possibly along with additional, predicted labels to create a list of generated items the user may want to select. This list is returned to the user interface as automatically selected items. In one example, the selection list may be iteratively updated upon receiving subsequent user selection data (e.g., user may select items incorrectly selected) by determining alternative items that the user may be interested in selecting.
