    Full text link
    In this paper we study the personalized text search problem. The keyword based search method in conventional algorithms has a low efficiency in understanding users' intention since the semantic meaning, user profile, user interests are not always considered. Firstly, we propose a novel text search algorithm using a inverse filtering mechanism that is very efficient for label based item search. Secondly, we adopt the Bayesian network to implement the user interest prediction for an improved personalized search. According to user input, it searches the related items using keyword information, predicted user interest. Thirdly, the word vectorization is used to discover potential targets according to the semantic meaning. Experimental results show that the proposed search engine has an improved efficiency and accuracy and it can operate on embedded devices with very limited computational resources

    Different users submit a query to a web search engine with different needs. The general type of search engines follows the "one size fits all" model which is not flexible to individual users resulting in too many answers for the query.  In order to overcome this drawback, in this paper, we propose a framework for personalized web search which considers individual's interest introducing intelligence into the traditional web search and producing only relevant pages of user interest. This proposed method is simple and efficient which ensures quality suggestions as well as promises for effective and relevant information retrieval. The framework for personalized web search engine is based on user past browsing history. This context is then used to make the web search more personalized. The results are encouraging

    Precision medicine can improve patient management by guiding therapeutic decision based on molecular characteristics. The concept has been extensively addressed through the application of –omics based approaches. Proteomics attract high interest, as proteins reflect a “real-time” dynamic molecular phenotype. Focusing on proteomics applications for personalized medicine, a literature search was conducted to cover: a) disease prevention, b) monitoring/ prediction of treatment response, c) stratification to guide intervention and d) identification of drug targets. The review indicates the potential of proteomics for personalized medicine by also highlighting multiple challenges to be addressed prior to actual implementation. In oncology, particularly bladder cancer, application of precision medicine appears especially promising. The high heterogeneity and recurrence rates together with the limited treatment options, suggests that earlier and more efficient intervention, continuous monitoring and the development of alternative therapies could be accomplished by applying proteomics-guided personalized approaches. This notion is backed by studies presenting biomarkers that are of value in patient stratification and prognosis, and by recent studies demonstrating the identification of promising therapeutic targets. Herein, we aim to present an approach whereby combining the knowledge on biomarkers and therapeutic targets in bladder cancer could serve as basis towards proteomics- guided personalized patient management

    Personalized web search (PWS) is a general category of search techniques aiming at providing different search results for different users or organize search results differently for each user, based upon their interest, preferences and information needs. As the expense, user information has to be collected and analyzed to figure out the user intention behind the issued query. However, users are uncomfortable with exposing private information during search which has become a major barrier for the wide proliferation of PWS. Search engines should provide security mechanism such that user will be ensured of its privacy and its information should be kept safe. Many personalization techniques are giving access to achieve personalization of user’s web search. Search engines can provide more accurate and specific data if users trust search engine and provide more information. But users should be ensured that their private information should be kept safe. In this paper we will discuss on different techniques on personalized web search and securing personalized information. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.16041

    An ontology is a representation of knowledge as hierarchies of concepts within domain, using a shared vocabulary to denote the types, properties and inter-relationships of those concepts [1][2]. Ontologies are often equated with classification of hierarchies of classes, class definitions, and the relations, but ontologies need not be limited to these forms. Ontologies are also not limited to conservative definitions, i.e., in the traditional logic sense that only introduce terminology and do not add any knowledge about the world (Enderton, 1972). To specify a conceptualization, axioms need to be proposed that constrain interpretation of defined terms [3]. Ontologies are frameworks for organizing information and are collections of URIs. It is a systematic arrangement of all important categories of objects and concepts within a particular field and relationship between them. Search engines are commonly used for information retrieval from web. The ontology based personalized search engine (OPSE) captures the user’s priorities in the form of concepts by mining through the data which has been previously clicked by them. Search results need to be provided according to user profile and user interest so that highly relevant search data is provided to the user. In order to do this, user profiles need to be maintained. Location information is important for searching data; OPSE needs to classify concepts into content concepts and location concepts. User locations (gathered during user registration) are used to supplement the location concepts in OPSE. Ontology based user profiles are used to organize user preferences and adapt personalized ranking function in order for relevant documents to be retrieved according to a suitable ranking. A client-server architecture is used for design of ontology based personalized search engine. The design involves in collecting and storing client clickthrough data. Functionalities such as re-ranking and concept extraction can be performed at the server side of personalized search engine. As an additional requirement, we can address the privacy issue by restricting the information in the user profile exposed to the personalized mobile search engine server with some privacy parameters. The Prototype of OPSE will be developed on the web platform. Ontology based personalized search engines can significantly improve the precision of results

    University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.With the rapid development of the Internet and WWW, it is more and more important for people to access quality web information. Thus the problem of enabling users to quickly and accurately find information has become an urgent issue. As one of the basic ways to solve this problem, personalized information services have been focusing on fulfilling the personalized information requirements of different users based on their actual demands, preference characteristics, behaviour patterns, etc. This thesis focuses on enhancing web log based recommendation by personalized retrieval, and its main works and innovations include: • For personalized retrieval, the thesis proposes two models to improve user experience and optimize search performance. The first is a query suggestion model based on query semantics and click-through data. This model calculates the subject relevance between queries, and then combines the semantic information and the relevance of the query-click matrix model as this can effectively eliminate the ambiguity and input errors of reminder queries. The second is a collaborative filtering retrieval model based on local and global features. By the integration of the local and global characteristics of the accessed information, this model overcomes the limitations of a single feature, and increases the degree of application of the retrieval model. • For recommendation by personalized retrieval, we propose two recommendation models based on the web log. The first is based on the user’s atomic retrieval transaction sequence and the browse characteristics. This model decomposes search transactions, and calculates the user’s degree of interest on the search term, which allows users to query information more clearly. Further, it incorporates the user feedback on the search results evaluation value, which overcomes the shortcomings of the model based on content filtering. The second model is based on user interests association findings, which can be used to: find the relationship between resources accessed by users, extract the associations of user interests, and address the problem of user interests isolation

    Personalization of Queries based on User Preferences

    Get PDF
    Query Personalization is the process of dynamically enhancing a query with related user preferences stored in a user profile with the aim of providing personalized answers. The underlying idea is that different users may find different things relevant to a search due to different preferences. Essential ingredients of query personalization are: (a) a model for representing and storing preferences in user profiles, and (b) algorithms for the generation of personalized answers using stored preferences. Modeling the plethora of preference types is a challenge. In this paper, we present a preference model that combines expressivity and concision. In addition, we provide algorithms for the selection of preferences related to a query and the progressive generation of personalized results, which are ranked based on user interest
