Abstract

The overload of the information available on the web, held with the diversity of the user information needs and the ambiguity of their queries have led the researchers to develop personalized search tools that return only documents that meet the user profile representing his main interests and needs We present in this paper a personalized document ranking model based on an extended graph-based distance measure that exploits a semantic user profile derived from a predefined web ontology (ODP) The measure is based on combining Minimum Common Supergraph (MCS) and Maximum Common Subgraph (mcs) between graphs representing respectively the document and the user profile We extend this measure in order to take into account a semantic recovery between the document and the user profile through common concepts and cross links connecting the two graphs Results show the effectiveness of our personalized graph-based ranking model compared to Yahoo search results.
