System and method for time-based clustering of data-access instances

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a data-access history for a time period, the data-access history comprising a plurality of data-access instances. The method further includes initially associating each data-access instance with a time-based data-access cluster of a plurality of time-based data-access clusters based, at least in part, on a time of the data-access instance. In addition, the method includes iteratively refining a time distribution of the plurality of data-access instances across the plurality of time-based data-access clusters. Further, the method includes facilitating a time-density analysis of the plurality of data-access instances using the iteratively refined plurality of time-based data-access clusters.

1. A method comprising, by a computer system comprising computer hardware:
accessing a data-access history of a user for a time period, the data-access history comprising a plurality of data-access instances of the user during the time period; initially associating each data-access instance with a time-based data-access cluster of a plurality of time-based data-access clusters based, at least in part, on a time of the data-access instance; iteratively refining a time distribution of the plurality of data-access instances across the plurality of time-based data-access clusters; identifying a particular time-based data-access cluster of the iteratively refined plurality of time-based data-access clusters as having a high time density in relation to others of the iteratively refined plurality of time-based data-access clusters; and reporting the particular time-based data-access cluster in relation to the user.
