Towards Personalized Semantic Multimedia Search for Digital Libraries
Berenike Litz, Jan Nandzik, Acosta Consult · 2011
In this paper we discuss the employment of a personaliza-tion component in an existing semantic multimedia search engine for digital libraries. There are different ways to ex-ploit personal information in this context. First of all, the in-formation can be utilized to re-rank the results according to the preferences of the user and of users showing similar in-terests. Further, the user can be offered to build customized clouds of search concepts that are relevant to the user’s inter-ests based on his or her deliberate choice in order to present more relevant results and to inform the user about news on the topic in the future.
