Abstract
In reality, users rarely dedicate excessive interest into only one topic over a long time. We propose a topic-based hidden Markov model to analyze temporal dynamics of users’ preference. Experiments show that given observations of a new entrant, the proposed model is able to recommend a specific user group he/she can be classified into and also can anticipate what topic he/she will be mostly interested in.
