Abstract

Architecture that employs machine-based learning to automatically categorize data on a per-user basis. Auto-tagging reduces the burden on infoworkers by creating a machine learning model to learn from user tagging behavior or preferences. Once this information is obtained, a trained model for this specific user is used to assign tags to incoming data, such as emails. The architecture finds particular applicability to compliance and message retention policies that otherwise would mandate extra work for the infoworker. The architecture learns the tagging behavior of a user and uses this learned behavior to automatically tag data based on the user's prior tagging habits. A regression algorithm is employed to process the training data according to an n-dimensional framework for prediction and application of the tag(s) to the incoming messages.
