Week #8 – Progress on Intent Recognition

This week we started on a second version of intent recognition. We recognize that the human mind is difficult to model and that we will need to have a reasonable approximation for our project to be viable. Currently, we assume that a user’s intent can be determined by a few factors, which are time spent on an element, whether the action involves input into the webpage (such as typing in a field), and potentially some other factors. We may consider an action to be an end-action if a user spends two standard deviations longer on an element than they typically do. This means very few actions are end actions, however, this prevents the issue of annoying users with incorrect nudges.
