Personalized Web Search Ranking Based on Different Information Resources

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The goal of personalized search is to provide user with results that accurately satisfy their specific goal of the search. In this paper, a hybrid personalized search re-ranking approach is proposed to provide users with results reordered according to their interests. User preferences are automatically learned into a concept-based user profile. This profile is then employed in the re-ranking process with other information resources to personalize results. Our experiments have shown interesting results in enhancing the quality of web search.
