PREDICTIVE DISPLAY OF FOLDER STRUCTURE

Abstract:

A computing system generates a default view of content items associated with a user account. The default view is representative of an underlying hierarchical structure of the content items associated with the user account. The computing system receives a request to transition from the default view to a modified view of the content items. The computing system ranks the content items based on a predicted likelihood of the user interacting with the particular content item. The computing system identifies the subset of content items for the modified view based on the ranking. The computing system generates the modified view based on the identified subset of the content items. The modified view maintains the underlying hierarchical structure of the content items associated with the user account. The computing system provides the modified view to the user associated with the user account for display.
