A geo-social user profile for a personalized information retrieval
Tahar Rafa, Samir Kechid · 2016
Several works in user-centered personalized information retrieval treat independently the user's mobile and social contexts, and they develop and exploit separately the social and situational user profiles to improve the information access process. We propose, in this paper, a personalized information retrieval approach combining the social and situational user profiles to improve the search results relevance. We intend to improve two important phases of the research process, (i) user query expansion and (ii) adaptation of search results to the user profile.
