GeniUS: Generic User Modeling Library for the Social Semantic WebJIST2011, December 2011, Hangzhou, China
• three domains: location, entertainment, product• three sub-domains of product: book, software, music
• Recommender algorithm: cosine similarity between profile and candidate item
• Ground truth: relevant (re-)tweets of users • Candidate items: all the tweets posted during
evaluation period
time
P(u)= ?
1 month
Recommendations = ?
user profile
15GeniUS: Generic User Modeling Library for the Social Semantic Web
Evaluation results
the domain-specific user modeling strategies improve the performance of recommendations
three different domains
16GeniUS: Generic User Modeling Library for the Social Semantic Web
Evaluation results
The user modeling quality varies only slightly between the different domains
three sub-domainsof product
The sub-domain-specific user modeling strategy also improve the performance of recommendation.
17GeniUS: Generic User Modeling Library for the Social Semantic Web
Wrap up• GeniUS: Generic topic and User modeling library for the Social
Semantic Web• exploits traces (e.g. tweets) that people leave on the Social Web• enriches the semantics of these traces • constructs semantic user profiles profile construction can be customized and is adapted to a given application
context
• Analysis: • Twitter-based user profiles contain a great variety of topics• GeniUS succeeds in generating profiles for different applications and
domains
• Evaluation:• domain-specific user modeling strategies (powered by the semantic
filtering of GeniUS) allow clearly for the best performance• the more GeniUS adapts to the given domain (and application context) the
better the performance
