Abstract

Effective Web searching involves two components: (1) a search tool must know about and characterize as many Web pages as possible and (2) it must match a user query to the most suitable resource. The essential problem addressed by personalization systems relates to the second component of Web searching. How can the information that a search service holds about resources available on the Web be matched to the diverse needs of the global user base? In this paper we introduce an alternative to the usual model for user personalization.
