Abstract

Information overload is one of the most important problems in context of personalized document retrieval systems. In this paper we propose to use ontology-based user profile. Ontological structures are appropriate to represent relations between concepts in user profile. We present a method for determining representative profile of users’ group. Two users are in the same group when their interests (profiles) are similar. If a new user is classify to a group, a system can recommend him a representative profile to avoid ,,cold-start problem”. Results obtained in experimental evaluation are promising. Method presented in this paper is a crucial part of developed personalized document retrieval system.
