Information Filtering: Personal Profile Usable as Stereotype Profile?
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a research that gives an indication of the use of personal profiling techniques for stereotype profiling. A stereotype might be seen as a ‘single person’ that represents a group and so personal filtering might be used for stereotype filtering. To test this, a group of 6 people used an adapted internet browser with a single personal profile and ranked a set of documents afterwards. The profile was also used by people who did not fit the stereotype to test how vulnerable a personal profile is for misuse. These tests show that the profile can filter documents for a stereotype group but also has difficulty ranking certain documents.
