An integrated web system to facilitate personalized web searching algorithms

Published: 16 March 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Generic web searching often turns out impersonal and frustrating due to lack of adaptivity to user preferences. These problems can be alleviated in the presence of a solution to assist personalization in an effective manner. Such a tool is presented within the context of this paper that enables personalization on the client's browser and is supported by a Web Service based backend system that implement a number of different personalization approaches as an option. Our aim is to provide a generic platform based on web technologies a) for end-user personalization and b) for assistance in the research & development evaluation of existing or novel personalization techniques. The solution is further underpinned with novel personalization techniques. The latter have emerged as fine-grained and improved alternatives to provably efficient personalization methods previously presented in [10]. The solution altogether has been experimentally evaluated and proved effective.
