CLUSTERING CROWDSOURCED DATA TO CREATE AND APPLY DATA INPUT MODELS

The collection and clustering of data input characteristics from a plurality of computing devices is provided. The clustered data input characteristics define user groups to which users are assigned. Input models such as language models and touch models are created for, and distributed to, each of the user groups based on the data input characteristics of the users assigned thereto. For example, an input model may be selected for a computing device based on a current context of the computing device. The selected input model is applied to the computing device during the current context to alter the interpretation of input received from the user via the computing device.
