Abstract
A data-caching system facilitates pre-loading a cache with content objects that are likely to be of interest to a client device, as determined based on their correlation to other content objects served to the client device. During operation, the system can receive an interest for a content object, and can determine whether the local network device can satisfy the interest. If so, the system generates a content-object recommendation that indicates other content objects that are correlated with the received interest, for example, by computing correlation values between the received interest and a plurality of historical interests. The system then provides the content recommendation to a remote network device from which the interest originated, such that the content recommendation indicates the correlated content objects to pre-load into a cache.
