The Role of User Location in Personalized Search and Recommendation

Published: 16 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

With mobile devices, users no longer access the web from specific locations, but virtually from anywhere. How does this affect our ability to provide personalized information for users' In this talk, I will discuss the influence of location activity on users' information needs and how a better understanding of these needs can help enhance web applications in which personalization plays a central role.
