An architecture for personalized systems based on web mining agents

[EN]The development of the present web systems is becoming a complex activity due to the need to integrate the last technologies in order to make more efficient and competitive applications. Endowing systems with personalized recommendation procedures contributes to achieve these objectives. In this paper, a web mining method for personalization is proposed. It uses the information already available from other users to discover patterns that are used later for making recommendations. The work deals with the problem of introducing new information items and new users who do not have a profile. We propose an architectural design of intelligent data mining agents for the system implementation

The Partial Evaluation Approach to Information Personalization

Information personalization refers to the automatic adjustment of information content, structure, and presentation tailored to an individual user. By reducing information overload and customizing information access, personalization systems have emerged as an important segment of the Internet economy. This paper presents a systematic modeling methodology - PIPE (`Personalization is Partial Evaluation') - for personalization. Personalization systems are designed and implemented in PIPE by modeling an information-seeking interaction in a programmatic representation. The representation supports the description of information-seeking activities as partial information and their subsequent realization by partial evaluation, a technique for specializing programs. We describe the modeling methodology at a conceptual level and outline representational choices. We present two application case studies that use PIPE for personalizing web sites and describe how PIPE suggests a novel evaluation criterion for information system designs. Finally, we mention several fundamental implications of adopting the PIPE model for personalization and when it is (and is not) applicable.Comment: Comprehensive overview of the PIPE model for personalizatio

Survey of data mining approaches to user modeling for adaptive hypermedia

The ability of an adaptive hypermedia system to create tailored environments depends mainly on the amount and accuracy of information stored in each user model. Some of the difficulties that user modeling faces are the amount of data available to create user models, the adequacy of the data, the noise within that data, and the necessity of capturing the imprecise nature of human behavior. Data mining and machine learning techniques have the ability to handle large amounts of data and to process uncertainty. These characteristics make these techniques suitable for automatic generation of user models that simulate human decision making. This paper surveys different data mining techniques that can be used to efficiently and accurately capture user behavior. The paper also presents guidelines that show which techniques may be used more efficiently according to the task implemented by the applicatio

Using Machine Learning Techniques to Customize the User\u27s Profile, Helps Intelligent TV Decoder’s Design

In today\u27s society due to the increase of the quantity of information is becoming more difficult to find the information we search. Data mining offers us the most important methods and techniques in data analysis. Through this work, we aim to study the several data mining techniques, methods and applications in specific areas. We experiment with an “open software WEKA, to perform some data analysis, presenting the reliability and advantages of data mining classification technique. We use the decision trees technique to achieve the task of classification, to customize user profiles based on their requirements and needs. This paper presents also how machine learning methods can be integrated with agent technology in building more intelligent agents. Using machine learning techniques makes it possible to develop agents able to learn from and adapt to their environment. So a TV decoder can be adapted to the demands of TV viewers. If the decoder initially trained by the demands and needs of viewers, it can display intelligent behavior, suggesting viewers, according to the profile created for each one, shows and movies. The paper concludes with our contributions concerning the application of data mining techniques to customize services according to the requirements and needs of users
