As the number of Internet users and the number of accessible Web pages grows, it is becoming increasingly difficult for users to find relevant documents to their particular needs. In this paper, we report on research that adapts information retrieval based on a user profile. Ontology models are widely used to represent user profiles in personalized web information retrieval. Many models have utilized only knowledge from either a global knowledge base or a user local information for representing user profiles. A personalized ontology model is used for knowledge representation and reasoning over user profiles. This model uses ontological user profiles based on both a world knowledge base and user local instance repositories. It is observed …show more content…
Many researchers have attempted to discover user background knowledge through global or local analysis to represent user profiles.
i) Motivation
The basic objective regarding this project is to achieve high performance in web information retrieval using a personalized ontology model. Most of the times when user searches for some information with some ideas in mind , It is always the case that he didn’t get the information exactly as he wants in first page . He has to go through different pages until he get the information exactly as per his concept. The basic idea is to create ontological user profiles from both a world knowledge base and user local instance repositories in order to have a fast information retrieval as per the concept model of the user. ii) Existing systems
Commonly used knowledge bases include generic ontologies, thesauruses, and online knowledge bases. The global analysis produce effective performance for user background knowledge extraction but it is limited by the quality of the used knowledge base. Local analysis investigates user local information or observes user behavior in user profiles. Analyzed query logs to discover user background knowledge is used. Users were provided with a set of documents and asked for relevance feedback. User background knowledge was then discovered from this feedback for user profiles. The discovered results may contain noisy and uncertain information.

Bi et al \cite{Rec:Bi} provides ranked related entities to the user query along with the results of the main entity. In order to do this, this articles makes use of user's search history, click history and knowledge base. A matrix is created comprising of the user information which connects to the entities along with the ranking, click results. A tri-linear function\cite{Rec:Bi} is defined mapping these details and which will be used to rank the related entities
Here we discuss about the common traits or ideas observed in the three research topics. Although, these three papers discuss about different ideas, they all fall under the web data mining domain. web data mining is a hot research topic in the current realm of big data. These papers discuss about the utilisation of the valuable user generated data from the social media or the the browser cookies to provide the best user experience in order to maintain the user interest in the company's product or to take effective decisions by the individual.
As a student that values the ability to make my own choices and opportunities to conduct research, UChicago appeals to my sense of learning. Unlike other universities, UChicago’s Department of Computer Science provides some of the best education in the world and allows students to build strength in an additional field due to the program’s flexibility. Not only that, UChicago’s Center for Scholarly Advancement encourages undergraduate research and would allow me to continue the scientific research that I am currently conducting, as well as allowing me to be mentored by great professors who are researching similar topics. In particular, Professor Ben Zhao and Professor Heather Zheng’s research on data-driven models of user behavior appeals to

In the current world in which most of the information is found online, it is of great importance for researchers and analysts to hone the skills necessary for analyzing information available on the internet.
The Internet?s leading advertising company, DoubleClick, Inc. compiled thorough information on the browsing routine of millions of users. They
Social tagging, which originally emerged as means for users to describe, organize and share content, forming groups known as “folksonomies,” has challenged the traditional idea of organizing knowledge within information systems, raising questions whether tags and folksonomies might improve information retrieval, thus bridging the gap between lay persons and builders (Smith 136-139; Lee and Schiyer 1747-1748; Rolla 174-175; 182-183). In fact, folksonomies have been proposed an alternative way to organize and find information, such as Park, who applying the “information foraging theory,” proposed that since users naturally collect and evaluate results, folksonomies can help facilitate the discovery of information through tag- browsing, allowing users to find related tags classified by others(Smith 137; Park 515-518; 521-522). Yet, despite the uniqueness of this model, there could be shortcomings, because while tags serving as categories for browsing might be a good idea for smaller folksonomies, it would be difficult for a user to find all relevant items (recall) within a large folksonomy of thousands items, especially if the tags are broad, not connected by multiple terms, and the user is looking for specific information (Unit 1). Instead, tags would be more effective as indexing terms, something that has been explored for viability against library systems, such as in OPACS.
People who require information and furthermore, specific information for example “health” use special sites on the web, termed internet search engines that assist in retrieving stored information on other sites. (Franklin, 2000) Many search engines are available and some are designed for specific purposes; the two most popular all-purpose search engines are Google and Yahoo. Medical search engines are distinctively designed for
Gmail, a subsidiary of Google is able to track consumer data with every click that a consumer makes with their mouse as the cruise the internet. Market research firms collect data daily about consumers. They then make note of the buying and internet surfing trends of consumers. They use cluster analysis by putting the clusters or groups of consumers with similar trends together and then marketing new products or services to them, (Downes, 2012).
When searching on the Internet, one may find it difficult sometimes to know where to start. With the seemingly limitless amount of information, one should use the resource suitable for the searcher's needs and tastes. Comparing different factors like databases, directory types, strengths and weaknesses of two search engines, such as Yahoo! and Lycos, can provide an advantage to someone looking for a starting block.
This section discusses text mining and Web mining that are taking on significance as more data and information is stored in text documents and on the Web. Web mining is divided into three categories: content mining, structure mining, and usage mining. Each one provides specific information on patterns in Web data.
It may include demographic information, e.g., name, age, country, education level, etc. and should capture the behavior (patterns, goals, interesting topics, etc.) of a user shows when interacting with the Web. User modeling is defined as the process of gathering information about user’s interests, constructing, maintaining and using user profiles. For example in e-business systems, it captures online users’ characteristics, knows online users, provides customized products and services, and therefore improve user satisfaction. There are two approaches in user modeling process. These are the generation of an initial user profile for a new user and the continuous update of the profile information to adapt user’s changing preferences, interests and needs. A major challenge within user profiling is how user profiles can be constructed that accurately reflects users’ preferences.
In the existing works the performance of the servers is improved by pre-fetching the likely pages and then caching them in the server. The existing works try to cluster the data based on the user interests or the time taken by the server to respond back to the requests. In this proposed work improvement of the performance is achieved by clustering the users in different group based on their location from which the request is sent. Clustering the users based on the location improves the hit ratio. The web log file provides all the data about the user such as user name, IP address, Time Stamp, Access Request, number of Bytes
The paper Semantic Web talks about how the machine can be more intelligent when accessing web data. It involves making a machine understand the semantics of the data present on the web and also making them understand the human perspective. The research first tries the basic requirement outlines for the semantic web. Like the creation of ontologies and different relationship using which a machine can learn the context. The paper then discusses the creation of agents which takes advantage of the semantic web technology and gives a more personalized output to the user. In the paper the author has taken few real life examples is setting the benchmark requirements of the semantic web.
Abstract—Web searching engine are mostly used for finding certain information among a huge amount of data in a minimum amount of period. Profile based personalized web search (PWS) has determine their effectiveness in improving the quality of various internet search technique. We study security of privacy protection for PWS applications that as hierarchical user profiles. In this paper we can implement the PWS system called UPS that can flexibly create profiles by queries while regarding user definite privacy requirements. Our runtime generalization goals at striking a level between two predictive metrics that evaluate the effectiveness of personalization and the privacy risk of exposing the generalized profile. We implemented this system with greedy algorithms, for runtime profile generalization also provides a runtime prediction mechanism for determining whether personalizing a query is useful. Extensive experiments prove the effectiveness of our system. The experimental results also reveal that Greedy algorithms significantly outperform in terms of effectiveness.
