[RFC] Files Recommendations: Improve algorithm and data sources #888
Description
Goals
I think we can improve the current state.
Right now we support three providers:
- Recently Commented
- Recently Edited
- Recently Shared
Sources suggestions
- Recently Accessed
- Recently Uploaded (because we keep the mtime when uploading, so new files might not appear as Recently Edited)
- Frequently Accessed
- Time of day: Accessed files during specific time of days ?
Aggregation bonus
- Some data could be regrouped too. Like if you frequently access more than x files in the same folder, also recommend the folder directly?
Distribution
I also suggest to add a weight combining score
Something that can be fined tuned over time, but we could weight the relevancy of a result if it matches multiple criterias (dumb values used for this example below)
$score = (
0.3 * $recencyScore +
0.2 * $frequencyScore +
0.1 * $editScore +
0.1 * $sharedScore +
0.1 * $commentedScore
);
