Organizing electronically stored files using an automatically generated storage hierarchy

Abstract:

Methods and systems are described that automatically organize directory hierarchies and label individual directories systematically. Upon a number of files in a first directory exceeding a maximum number of files, a second directory is created. The files formerly disposed only in the first directory are organized into both of the first directory and the second directory so that the threshold number of files is not exceeded in either of the first or second directories. Organizing the files into the first and second directories uses vector representations of each of the files generated by the system so that, when organized, the first and second directories each include files with similar content. Labels are selected for each of the directories based on a comparison between a vector representation of the collective contents of each directory and vector representations of titles in a database.
