Multi-application Personalization: Data Propagation Evaluation on a Real-life Search Query Log
Résumé
In the field of multi-application personalization,
several techniques have been proposed to support user modeling.
None of them have sufficiently investigated the opportunity for
a multi-application profile to evolve over time in order to avoid
data inconsistency and the subsequent loss of income for website
users and companies. In this paper, we propose a model
addressing this issue and we focus in particular on user profile
data propagation management, as a way to reduce the amount
of inconsistent user profile information over several applications.
To evaluate our model, we first extract user profiles using logs
of the large real-life AOL search engine. Then, we simulate data
propagation along semantically related user information.
