Abstract

A contextual application organizer framework learns about application usage behavior based on user context from multiple different signals (e.g., email, OFFICE graph, Short Message Service, browsing history, search history, device usage, location) and surfaces relevant applications that a user may need for the current context or activity. A user context graph is created from user life events and an index of user activity of applications. Application usage signals are mapped from user preferences and world knowledge to the user context graph. Upon detecting a current user context, relevant applications derived from the user context graph are surfaced in a contextual application organizer.
