Abstract
User modeling for individual users on the Social Web plays
an important role and is a fundamental step for personalization as well as recommendations. Recent studies have
proposed different user modeling strategies considering various dimensions such as temporal dynamics and semantics
of user interests. Although previous work proposed different
user modeling strategies considering the temporal dynamics
of user interests, there is a lack of comparative studies on
those methods and therefore the comparative performance
over each other is unknown. In terms of semantics of user
interests, background knowledge from DBpedia has been
explored to enrich user interest profiles so as to reveal more
information about users. However, it is still unclear to what
extent different types of information from DBpedia contribute
to the enrichment of user interest profiles.
In this paper, we propose user modeling strategies which
use Concept Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency (CF-IDF) as a weighting scheme and incorporate either or both
of the dynamics and semantics of user interests. To this end,
we first provide a comparative study on different user modeling strategies considering the dynamics of user interests in
previous literature to present their comparative performance.
In addition, we investigate different types of information (i.e.,
categories, classes and connected entities via various properties) for entities from DBpedia and the combination of them
for extending user interest profiles. Finally, we build our user
modeling strategies incorporating either or both of the best performing methods in each dimension. Results show that
our strategies outperform two baseline strategies significantly
in the context of link recommendations on Twitter.
