US Patent 11947957 Grouping software applications based on technical facets

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide to techniques for automatically grouping software applications based on their technical patterns/characteristics (i.e., technical facets) via machine learning (ML) algorithms. For instance, a first set of software applications that exhibit a high prevalence of one or more first technical facets may be grouped into a first category, a second set of software applications that exhibit a high prevalence of one or more second technical facets may be grouped into a second category, and so on. Once grouped into categories, the software applications in a given category may be assessed, analyzed, and/or processed together for various purposes.
