Going beyond the issue of work group settings, the article underlines the importance of such knowledge for finding one&#039;s way through today&#039;s knowledge society. We discuss how social networking sites can be used to manage individual knowledge networks. Therefore, we describe characteristics of social networking sites resulting in the conclusion that user profiles serve as a base for an external transactive memory system. Furthermore, we draw attention to the perspective of the individual users and the functions that user profiles have for them. This leads to guiding propositions how to improve the implementation of user profiles for establishing and maintaining an useful external transactive memory system.</swrc:abstract><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="Short Papers" swrc:key="topic"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="1085" swrc:key="paperid"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:author><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="Katrin Wodzicki"/></rdf:_1><rdf:_2><swrc:Person swrc:name="Eva Schwaemmlein"/></rdf:_2><rdf:_3><swrc:Person swrc:name="Ulrike Cress"/></rdf:_3></rdf:Seq></swrc:author><swrc:editor><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="U.

This effort involves over 65,000 editors and resulted in metadata specifying topic and importance for more than 4 million web pages. Still, given that this number is just about 0.05 percent of the Web pages indexed by Google, is this effort enough to make a difference? In this paper we discuss how these metadata can be exploited to achieve high quality personalized web search. First, we address this by introducing an additional criterion for web page ranking, namely the distance between a user profile defined using ODP topics and the sets of ODP topics covered by each URL returned in regular web search.

Then, in the second part of the paper, we investigate the boundaries of biasing PageRank on subtopics of the ODP in order to automatically extend these metadata to the whole web.</swrc:abstract><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2006-06-06 01:06:51" swrc:key="posted-at"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2" swrc:key="priority"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="1595930345" swrc:key="isbn"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="685449" swrc:key="citeulike-article-id"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="10.1145/1076034.1076067" swrc:key="doi"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:author><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="Paul A.

In this paper we propose to use a word sense based document representation as a starting point to build a model of the user&#039;s interests. Documents passed over are processed and relevant senses (disambiguated over WordNet) are extracted and then combined to form a semantic network. A filtering procedure dynamically predicts new documents on the basis of the semantic network.
There are two main advantages of a sense-based approach: first, the model predictions, being based on senses rather than words, are more accurate; second, the model is language independent, allowing navigation in multilingual sites. We report the results of a comparative experiment that has been carried out to give a quantitative estimation of these improvements.</swrc:abstract><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2006-06-06 20:38:46" swrc:key="posted-at"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2" swrc:key="priority"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="576263" swrc:key="citeulike-article-id"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="http://dx.doi.org/10.1023/B:USER.0000028980.13669.44" swrc:key="doi"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:author><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="Bernardo Magnini"/></rdf:_1><rdf:_2><swrc:Person swrc:name="Carlo Strapparava"/></rdf:_2></rdf:Seq></swrc:author></rdf:Description></burst:publication></item><item rdf:about="http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/251292c78d76f5461371784280b7ff1c5/brusilovsky"><title>Implicit feedback for inferring user preference: a bibliography</title><link>http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/251292c78d76f5461371784280b7ff1c5/brusilovsky</link><dc:creator>brusilovsky</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-07-01T11:12:30+02:00</dc:date><dc:subject>implicit-feedback information-retrieval user-profile </dc:subject><content:encoded>&lt;span class=&#034;authorEditorList&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;/author/Kelly&#034;&gt;Diane Kelly&lt;/a&gt;,  and &lt;a href=&#034;/author/Teevan&#034;&gt;Jaime Teevan&lt;/a&gt;

Due to this key role, users welcome any improvements on the services they receive from DLs. One trend used to improve digital services is through personalization. Up to now, the most common approach for personalization in DLs has been user driven. Nevertheless, the design of efficient personalized services has to be done, at least in part, in an automatic way. In this context, machine learning techniques automate the process of constructing user models. This paper proposes a new approach to construct DLs that satisfy a user&#039;s necessity for information: Adaptive DLs, libraries that automatically learn user preferences and goals and personalize their interaction using this information.</swrc:abstract><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2006-12-26 23:12:17" swrc:key="posted-at"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="3" swrc:key="priority"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="892552" swrc:key="citeulike-article-id"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2006.02.006" swrc:key="doi"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:author><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="E.

Personalization of Web search is to carry out retrieval for each user incorporating his/her interests. We propose a novel technique to learn user profiles from users&#039; search histories. The user profiles are then used to improve retrieval effectiveness in Web search. A user profile and a general profile are learned from the user&#039;s search history and a category hierarchy, respectively. These two profiles are combined to map a user query into a set of categories which represent the user&#039;s search intention and serve as a context to disambiguate the words in the user&#039;s query. Web search is conducted based on both the user query and the set of categories. Several profile learning and category mapping algorithms and a fusion algorithm are provided and evaluated. Experimental results indicate that our technique to personalize Web search is both effective and efficient.</swrc:abstract><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2007-05-01 03:10:54" swrc:key="posted-at"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="1041-4347" swrc:key="issn"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2" swrc:key="priority"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="1217951" swrc:key="citeulike-article-id"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="10.1109/TKDE.2004.1264820" swrc:key="doi"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:author><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="Fang Liu"/></rdf:_1><rdf:_2><swrc:Person swrc:name="Clement Yu"/></rdf:_2><rdf:_3><swrc:Person swrc:name="Weiyi Meng"/></rdf:_3></rdf:Seq></swrc:author></rdf:Description></burst:publication></item><item rdf:about="http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2710682ddd9ed2c9bd517b8e6844ba0f2/brusilovsky"><title>Open user profiles for adaptive news systems: help or harm?</title><link>http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2710682ddd9ed2c9bd517b8e6844ba0f2/brusilovsky</link><dc:creator>brusilovsky</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-07-01T11:12:30+02:00</dc:date><dc:subject>adaptive-filtering news open-user-model recommender user-profile </dc:subject><content:encoded>&lt;span class=&#034;authorEditorList&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;/author/Ahn&#034;&gt;Jae-Wook Ahn&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#034;/author/Brusilovsky&#034;&gt;Peter Brusilovsky&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#034;/author/Grady&#034;&gt;Jonathan Grady&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#034;/author/He&#034;&gt;Daqing He&lt;/a&gt;,  and &lt;a href=&#034;/author/Syn&#034;&gt;Sue Y.

We propose a personalized search approach that can easily extend a conventional search engine on the client side. Our mapping framework automatically maps a set of known user interests onto a group of categories in the Open Directory Project (ODP) and takes advantage of manually edited data available in ODP for training text classifiers that correspond to, and therefore categorize and personalize search results according to user interests. In two sets of controlled experiments, we compare our personalized categorization system (PCAT) with a list interface system (LIST) that mimics a typical search engine and with a nonpersonalized categorization system (CAT). In both experiments, we analyze system performances on the basis of the type of task and query length. We find that PCAT is preferable to LIST for information gathering types of tasks and for searches with short queries, and PCAT outperforms CAT in both information gathering and finding types of tasks, and for searches associated with free-form queries. From the subjects&#039; answers to a questionnaire, we find that PCAT is perceived as a system that can find relevant Web pages quicker and easier than LIST and CAT.</swrc:abstract><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="2007-05-12 05:45:42" swrc:key="posted-at"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="1046-8188" swrc:key="issn"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="3" swrc:key="priority"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="1116158" swrc:key="citeulike-article-id"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:Field swrc:value="10.1145/1198296.1198301" swrc:key="doi"/></swrc:hasExtraField><swrc:author><rdf:Seq><rdf:_1><swrc:Person swrc:name="Zhongming Ma"/></rdf:_1><rdf:_2><swrc:Person swrc:name="Gautam Pant"/></rdf:_2><rdf:_3><swrc:Person swrc:name=" Olivia"/></rdf:_3></rdf:Seq></swrc:author></rdf:Description></burst:publication></item><item rdf:about="http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/28e8c1537f21b3027f9567f9ab89ce2ce/brusilovsky"><title>An adaptive algorithm for learning changes in user interests</title><link>http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/28e8c1537f21b3027f9567f9ab89ce2ce/brusilovsky</link><dc:creator>brusilovsky</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-07-01T11:12:30+02:00</dc:date><dc:subject>news personalization user-profile </dc:subject><content:encoded>&lt;span class=&#034;authorEditorList&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;/author/Widyantoro&#034;&gt;Dwi H.
