Learning browsing patterns for context-aware recommendation

Abstract

The success of personal information agents depends on their capacity to both identify relevant information for users and proactively recommend context-relevant information. In this paper, we propose an approach to enable proactive context-aware recommendation based on the knowledge of both user interests and browsing patterns. The proposed approach analyzes the browsing behavior of users to derive a semantically enhanced context that points out the information which is likely to be relevant for a user according to its current activities. © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
