Abstract
The disclosed subject matter models or predicts a user's intention during network or WWW navigation. Specifically, a statistical multi-step n-gram probability model is used to predict a user's optimal information goal. The optimal information goal is based on a sequence of previously visited network content pieces and a globally optimized navigation path through the sequence.
