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

Structure Extension of Tree-Augmented Naive Bayes
TL;DR: This paper proposes to relax the independence assumption by further generalizing tree-augmented naive Bayes (TAN) from 1-dependence Bayesian network classifiers (BNC) to arbitrary k-Dependence, and results reveal that the proposed algorithm achieves bias-variance trade-off and substantially better generalization performance than state-of-the-art classifiers such as logistic regression.

Eliciting Customer Preferences for Products From Navigation Behavior on the Web: A Multicriteria Decision Approach With Implicit Feedback
Duke Hyun Choi,Byeong Seok Ahn +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for identifying customer preferences and recommending the most appropriate product based on the use of customer's real-time web usage behavior, and derives weights attached to the multiple criteria in the multidimensional preference space constructed by the ordinal relationships among the products.
