A Collaborative Approach for User Profile Capturing in Ubiquitous Environments

چکیده
User profile capturing plays an important role in service personalization, but is challenging to accomplish in ubiquitous computing environments. This paper proposes a collaborative approach to capture user profile. The approach is based on Master-Slave architecture, of which master side is a device with strong capabilities, such as workstations and PCs, and slave devices are low-cost, low-performance, mobile terminals. The complex profile processing, e.g. learning and merging are conducted in the master device. The slave devices are responsible for observing user behavior and uploading feedback information to the master device. The master device is designed to support multiple user profile capturing methods: explicit input, implicit learning, and dynamic merging. Our experimental results show the effectiveness of our approach and main algorithms.

متن کاملUse of Semantic Similarity and Web Usage Mining to Alleviate the Drawbacks of User-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems
One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...
متن کاملA NOVEL FUZZY-BASED SIMILARITY MEASURE FOR COLLABORATIVE FILTERING TO ALLEVIATE THE SPARSITY PROBLEM
Memory-based collaborative filtering is the most popular approach to build recommender systems. Despite its success in many applications, it still suffers from several major limitations, including data sparsity. Sparse data affect the quality of the user similarity measurement and consequently the quality of the recommender system. In this paper, we propose a novel user similarity measure based...
