Abstract

This paper presents the integration of linguistic knowledge in learning semantic user profiles able to represent user interests in a more effective way with respect to classical keyword-based profiles. Semantic profiles are obtained by integrating a naïve Bayes approach for text categorization with a word sense disambiguation strategy based on the WordNet lexical database (Section 2). Semantic profiles are exploited by the “conference participant advisor” service in order to suggest papers to be read and talks to be attended by a conference participant. Experiments on a real dataset show the effectiveness of the service (Section 3).
