An approach is provided for determining the context-aware similarity between applications. A similarity platform processes one or more context logs associated with one or more devices to determine one or more context intents. The similarity platform further determines one or more distributions of one or more applications executed at the one or more devices with respect to the one or more context intents. The similarity platform also determines a context-aware similarity between two or more applications based, at least in part, on the one or more application distributions.

Method and apparatus for determining context-aware similarity

The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least a method, apparatus and system to perform operations including receiving context data from an electronic device, causing, at least in part based on the received context data, an identification of at least one context model compatible with the electronic device, and causing, at least in part, provision of the electronic device with the at least one compatible context model. In addition, the exemplary embodiments of the invention further provide at least a method, apparatus and system to perform operations including causing, at least in part, a provision of context data associated with an electronic device to a context inference service, in response, receiving a context model from the context inference service, and causing adaptation of the received context model as a current context model of the electronic device.

Method and apparatus for context sensing inference

Provided is a method and device for refreshing a news list, wherein the method includes: receiving a refreshing signal; reading a refreshing start time according to the received refreshing signal; reading at least one preset time threshold, the preset time threshold is used for defining, in combination with the refreshing start time, a time interval for refreshing a news list; acquiring a recommended news list according to the refreshing start time and the preset time threshold, the recommended news list including: at least one piece of news to be recommended, the publication time of the news to be recommended falls within the time interval; allocating a recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list; and refreshing the news to be recommended in the recommended news list according to the recommending time, so as to generate a new recommended news list.

Method and device for refreshing news list

Provided is a method and device for social platform-based data mining. The method includes: acquiring one or more interest label dictionaries of one or more registered users on an information client and one or more first objects having followed relationship with the one or more registered users on the information client in a social platform; determining one or more first followed sets corresponding to the one or more registered users; constructing an interest model; acquiring one or more second objects having followed relationship with one or more newly registered users on the information and reading relationship information between the one or more newly registered users and the one or more second objects; determining a second followed set corresponding to the one or more newly registered users; and matching the second followed set with the interest model to determine one or more recommended interest labels of the one or more newly registered users.

An example approach is provided for providing recommendations to a user based on user's role derived from the context information and an advanced user profile. A recommendation platform processes context information to determine one or more roles associated with a user. Next, the recommendation platform calculates at least one level of similarity between the one or more roles and one or more other roles associated with one or more other users. Then, the recommendation platform determines recommendation information associated with the one or more other users based, at least in part, on the at least one level of similarity. Next, the recommendation platform processes the recommendation information to generate one or more recommendations for the user.

Method and apparatus for content-aware role modeling and recommendation

A context-aware adaptive authentication method may comprise: determining a context for a user; adjusting automatically an authentication configuration for the user based at least in part on the context, wherein different matching accuracies of an authentication algorithm for the same authentication input data are associated with respective authentication configurations; and performing an authentication of the user with the authentication configuration, wherein for the user under a safe context, the authentication is performed by decreasing a matching accuracy of the authentication algorithm.

Context-aware adaptive authentication method and apparatus

A method for personalized location privacy recommendation comprises: obtaining information of one or more locations for a user; collecting features of the one or more locations; and recommending respective privacy levels of the one or more locations automatically based at least in part on the information and the features.

Automatic approach for the personalized privacy recommendation related to the location

An approach is provided for providing group context sensing and inference. The group context platform determines at least one group of one or more devices that have one or more group contexts that are at least substantially similar, at least substantially correlated, or a combination thereof. Next, the group context platform causes, at least in part, a distribution of one or more context sensing tasks among the one or more devices of the at least one group. Then, the group context platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more results of the one or more context sensing tasks to (a) modify the one or more group contexts; (b) enhance the one or more group contexts; (c) determine one or more other group contexts; or (d) a combination thereof.

Method and apparatus for providing group context sensing and inference

An approach is provided for determining significant places with greatly improved accuracy using universally available identifier information. A significant place platform causes, at least in part, a mapping of one or more communication coverage areas associated with one or more identifiers onto at least one geo-grid, wherein the one or more identifiers are associated with at least one device operating within at least one communication network. The significant place platform further processes the one or more identifiers to determine one or more significance scores associated with one or more grid units of the at least one geo-grid. The significant place platform also determines at least one significant place based, at least in part, on the one or more significance scores.

Method and apparatus for determining significant places

An approach is provided for providing hub-based indexing and services. The hub-based platform causes, at least in part, an indexing of location-based content according to one or more location hubs of one or more transportation lines, Next, the hub-based platform determines a current proximity, a predicted proximity, or a combination thereof of one or more devices to the one or more location hubs, wherein the one or more devices are (a) traveling on the one or more transportation lines, (b) predicted to travel on the one or more transportation lines, or (c) a combination thereof. Then, the hub-based platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of at least a portion of the location-based content based, at least in part, on the current proximity, the predicted proximity, or a combination thereof.
