1. A method, comprising:

  • obtaining records related to interactions between a user and a set of contacts;

    processing the records to generate interaction data of the user with the set of contacts;

    determining, by a first device, communication patterns that describe interactions between the user and the set of contacts, the communication patterns being recorded by at least the first device;

    determining, by the first device, one or more sets of respective features from the communication patterns, the one or more sets of respective features capturing at least spatial relationships and temporal relationships in the interactions;

    applying, by the first device, a multi-modal clustering to the one or more sets of respective features based upon the spatial and temporal relationships in the interactions between the user and the set of contacts, wherein each contact of the set of contacts is a multi-modal contact associated with different communication modalities;

    for each multi-modal contact, generating a unique contact ID representing the different communication modalities of the multi-modal contact;

    organizing, by the first device, the set of contacts into a set of groups based at least in part on the multi-modal clustering and the unique contact ID;

    detecting a triggering event based upon a change of the user'"'"'s location and event data specific to an application, wherein the user'"'"'s location may be identified as a significant location based upon the multi-modal clustering; and

    updating the set of groups based on the triggering event and the multi-modal clustering.
