2. INTRODUCTION

   In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements and an ever-increasing demand for productivity, effective task management stands as a cornerstone for individuals and

   organizations alike. The intricate balance of handling multiple responsibilities, meeting deadlines, and prioritizing tasks necessitates a sophisticated approach that goes beyond conventional methods. This project endeavours to address this need by introducing an innovative AI-prioritized task management system, designed to enhance efficiency and streamline the intricacies of time management.

   The modern landscape of task management has evolved significantly, driven by the integration ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) into various facets ofour daily lives. AI's prowess in data analysis, pattern recognition, and decision-making presents a unique opportunity to revolutionize how tasks are prioritized and managed. This project explores the intersection of AI and task management, aiming to harness the potential of intelligent algorithms to optimize workflows and enhance overall productivity.

   Traditional task management systems lack the adaptive intelligence needed to prioritize tasks based on dynamic factors such as urgency, importance, and workload. This limitation inspired the development of an innovative solution that leverages artificial intelligence to autonomously prioritize tasks, providing users with a more efficient and reliable way to managetheir time.

   The goal is to create a system that not only assistsusers in organizing their tasks but also takes into account the varying levels of urgency and importance, ensuring that critical deadlines are met without compromising the overall quality ofwork. By incorporating AI prioritization, the project aims to offer users a tool that adapts to their unique schedules and preferences, ultimately enhancing their productivity and reducing the stress associated with taskmanagement.

   Problem Statement: In contemporary society, individuals face an ever-growing challenge in managing an array of tasks, each possessing distinct levels of importance and urgency. Conventional task management systems often lack the adaptability and intelligence required to effectively prioritize tasks according to the dynamic nature of users' schedules and preferences. This project seeks to address this problem by developing an AI-driven task management system capable of autonomously prioritizing tasks based on user behavior, deadlines, and the urgency of each task.

3. MOTIVATION

   ALGORITHMS:

4. LITERATURE

   The motivation for the AI-prioritized task management system project stems from the recognition of the challenges individuals, especially students, face in effectively managing their tasks and deadlines. As a student myself, I have experienced the pressure of juggling various responsibilities, assignments, and deadlines simultaneously. Time management becomes crucial in such scenarios to ensure tasks are completed efficiently without the last-minuterush.

   RANDOM FOREST

   The Random Forest algorithm is an ensemble learning technique that combines the predictions of multiple individual models, known as decision trees, to enhance overall performance and

   accuracy. Each decision tree is constructed by considering a random subset of features and a random subset of the training data. The final prediction is determined by aggregating the predictions of all individual trees, often through a majority vote for classification tasks or averaging for regression tasks.

   Incorporation in the Project:

   In the context of the AI-prioritized task management system, the Random Forest algorithm can be employed for various purposes, primarily in the machine learning model used for prioritizing tasks. Here's how it can be incorporated:

   Task Priority Prediction:

   The project involves training a machine learning model to predict the priority of tasks based on various features such as deadlines, importance, and workload.

   Random Forest can be employed as the underlying algorithm for this prediction task. Theensemble nature of Random Forest helps in capturing complex relationships betweenfeatures and task priorities.

   Training the Model:

   The model is trained using historical data, where the features include information about tasks (e.g., name, deadline, importance) and the target variable is the priority of each task.

   By considering random subsets of features and data for each tree in the forest, the Random Forestmodel can generalize well and avoid overfitting.

   Ensemble Prediction:

   When a new task is added to the system or when a user requests task prioritization, the Random Forest model can provide predictions based on the learned patterns.

   The ensemble nature ensures that the model is robust and less prone to outliers or noise in the data.

   Adaptability:

   Random Forest is known for its adaptability to different types of data and tasks. In the task management system, this adaptability is crucial as tasks and user preferences can vary widely.

   Interpretability:

   While Random Forest models are not as easily interpretable as a single decision tree, they do provide insights into feature importance.

   Understanding which features contribute more to task prioritization can be valuable for users seeking transparency in the decision-making process.

   LINEAR REGRESSION

   Linear Regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm used for predicting a continuous outcome variable based on one or more predictor variables. It establishes a linear relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable by finding the best-fit line. The goal is to minimize the difference between the predicted and actual values.

   Incorporation in the Project:

   In the context of the AI-prioritized task management system, Linear Regression can be incorporated for specific tasks related to predicting deadlines or workloads. Here's how itcan be utilized:

   Deadline Prediction:

   Linear Regression can be applied to predict task deadlines based on historical data. The features may include the urgency of tasks, historical completion times, and other relevant factors.

   The model learns the linear relationship between these features and the actual deadlines, enabling the system to predict when a task is likely to be completed.

   Simple and Interpretable:

   Linear Regression models are relatively simple and interpretable, making them suitable for scenarios where a clear understanding of the relationships between variables is beneficial.

   Users can gain insights into how specific factorscontribute to the predicted outcomes, enhancing transparency.

   Efficient for Linear Relationships:

   Linear Regression is effective when there is a linear relationship between the input features andthe target variable. In cases where such relationships exist, Linear Regression can provide accurate predictions.

   Complementary to Random Forest:

   While Random Forest captures complex relationships in data, Linear Regression focuses on linear dependencies. Combining these models can offer a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing task prioritization.

   Data Exploration and Insights:

   The model can be used for exploratory data analysis, allowing users to understand the trends and correlations between different variables in the task management system.

   By incorporating Linear Regression, the task management system can enhance its predictive capabilities for specific aspects such as deadlineestimation and workload assessment, providing users with valuable insights for effective task prioritization and planning.

   K-NEAREST NEIGHNORS (KNN)

   K-Nearest Neighbors is a supervised machine learning algorithm used for both classification and regression tasks. It makes predictions based on the majority class (for classification) or the

   average (for regression) of the K-nearest data points in the feature space. The proximity between data points is determined by a distance metric, commonly Euclidean distance.

   Incorporation in the Project:

   In the context of the AI-prioritized task management system, the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm can be applied for certain aspects, particularly in collaborative filtering for personalized task recommendations. Here's how it can be incorporated:

   Collaborative Filtering:

   Collaborative filtering is a technique that makes automatic predictions about the interests of a user by collecting preferences from many users(collaborating). KNN is a popular choice forcollaborative filtering.

   In the task management system, KNN can be used to identify users with similar task preferences based on historical data.

   User Similarity Calculation:

   Each user's task history can be treated as a feature vector, and the similarity between users is calculated using distance metrics such as Euclidean distance or cosine similarity.

   KNN identifies the K-nearest neighbors to a given user, indicating those users with the most similar task preferences.

   Task Recommendations:

   Once the most similar users are identified, the system can recommend tasks that these similar users have prioritized or found important.

   This collaborative approach enhances personalization, as users receive recommendations based not only on their own history but also on the preferences of like-minded users.

   Dynamic Adaptation:

   KNN is particularly well-suited for dynamic adaptation. As users interact with the system, the KNN model can continuously update recommendations based on evolving task preferences.

   Hyperparameter Tuning:

   The parameter 'K' in KNN represents the number of nearest neighbors considered for making predictions. Tuning this hyperparameter allows customization of the model's sensitivity to local variations in the data.

   By incorporating K-Nearest Neighbors, the task management system gains a collaborative filtering mechanism that provides personalized recommendations based on the preferences of similar users. This contributes to a more user- centric and adaptive task prioritization approach.
