Exploring digital collections to find information relevant to a user's interests is a challenging task. Algorithms designed to solve this relevant information problem base their relevance computations on user profiles in which representations of the users' interests are maintained. This paper presents a new method, based on the classical Rocchio algorithm for text categorization, able to discover user preferences from the analysis of textual descriptions of items in online catalogues of e-commerce Web sites. Experiments have been carried out on a dataset of real users, and results have been compared with those obtained using an Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) approach and a probabilistic one. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
