TLDR
The use of a naive Bayesian classifier is described, and it is demonstrated that it can incrementally learn profiles from user feedback on the interestingness of Web sites and may easily be extended to revise user provided profiles.Abstract:
We discuss algorithms for learning and revising user profiles that can determine which World Wide Web sites on a given topic would be interesting to a user. We describe the use of a naive Bayesian classifier for this task, and demonstrate that it can incrementally learn profiles from user feedback on the interestingness of Web sites. Furthermore, the Bayesian classifier may easily be extended to revise user provided profiles. In an experimental evaluation we compare the Bayesian classifier to computationally more intensive alternatives, and show that it performs at least as well as these approaches throughout a range of different domains. In addition, we empirically analyze the effects of providing the classifier with background knowledge in form of user defined profiles and examine the use of lexical knowledge for feature selection. We find that both approaches can substantially increase the prediction accuracy.read more

Integrating collaborative filtering and matching-based search for product recommendations
TL;DR: A simple user profiling approach is proposed to generate user's preferences to product attributes based on user product click stream data and two recommendation approaches are proposed, namely Round-Robin fusion algorithm (CFRRobin) and Collaborative Filtering-based Aggregated Query algorithm ( CFAgQuery), to generate personalized recommendations based on the user profiles.
