Efficient Representation of the Lifelong Web Browsing User Characteristics

چکیده
Client-based user modelling has already been studied and clearly has its place among generic approaches to the user modelling. It is especially advantageous for lifelong user modelling as it can support the modelling in any time and any place including consideration of user privacy. Emergence of web browser extensions opens up possibilities of pure browser-based realisation of client-based user modelling. In this paper, we focus on the efficient representation of a generic user model inside a web browser, which forms the core part of browser-based user modelling framework in form of a browser extension. Efficiency is crucial also from the lifelong perspective. We propose an efficient method of lifelog indexing and modelling various user characteristics inside the web browser. We evaluated properties of proposed representation and describe its applicability in some common use cases.

Optimizing Membership Functions using Learning Automata for Fuzzy Association Rule Mining
The Transactions in web data often consist of quantitative data, suggesting that fuzzy set theory can be used to represent such data. The time spent by users on each web page is one type of web data, was regarded as a trapezoidal membership function (TMF) and can be used to evaluate user browsing behavior. The quality of mining fuzzy association rules depends on membership functions and since t...
متن کاملExtracting Precise Activities of Users from HTTP Logs
Browsing histories are often used to build user profiles for browsing supports and personalizations. But, the browsing history also contains HTTP requests generated concomitantly with user activity(concomitant request), which must be removed in order to build correct user profiles. Current filtering methods are based on rather simple characteristics of requests such as the extension of the file...

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 کاملQuery expansion based on relevance feedback and latent semantic analysis
Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet which are widely-used by expert and novice users. Constructing an adequate query which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. Query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. In this paper, a new method of query expa...
متن کاملComplex Networks of Human-web Interactions
We analyzed human browsing behavior on a large-scale web-based system. Human-web interaction sequences were temporally segmented into blocks encompassing elemental and compound browsing tasks. Network representation of the human browsing behavior resembles a complex network. The complex network traversal topology has a small number of hubs. The hubs contract and disperse navigational pathways. ...
