This chapter illustrates a novel approach to learning user interests from the way users interact with a document management system. The approach is based on a fuzzy conceptual representation of both documents and user interests, using information contained in an ontology. User models are constructed and updated by means of an on-line evolutionary algorithm. The approach has been successfully implemented in a module of a knowledge management system which helps the system improve the relevance of responses to user queries.

Abstract

This chapter illustrates a novel approach to learning user interests from the way users interact with a document management system. The approach is based on a fuzzy conceptual representation of both documents and user interests, using information contained in an ontology. User models are constructed and updated by means of an on-line evolutionary algorithm. The approach has been successfully implemented in a module of a knowledge management system which helps the system improve the relevance of responses to user queries.
