User-Centric Similarity and Proximity Measures for Spatial Personalization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial personalization can be defined as a novel way to fulfill user information needs when accessing spatial information services either on the web or in mobile environments. The research presented in this paper introduces a conceptual approach that models the spatial information offered to a given user into a user-centered conceptual map, and spatial proximity and similarity measures that considers her/his location, interests and preferences. This approach is based on the concepts of similarity in the semantic domain, and proximity in the spatial domain, but taking into account user’s personal information. Accordingly, these spatial proximity and similarity measures could directly support derivation of personalization services and refinement of the way spatial information is accessible to the user in spatially related applications. These modeling approaches are illustrated by some experimental case studies. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-61350-474-1.ch008

A New Similarity Measure Based on Item Proximity and Closeness for Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
Recommender systems utilize information retrieval and machine learning techniques for filtering information and can predict whether a user would like an unseen item. User similarity measurement plays an important role in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. In order to improve accuracy of traditional user based collaborative filtering techniques under new user cold-start problem a...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach for Spatial Web Personalization
In the context of Web personalization, Markov chains have been recently proposed to model user’s navigational trails, in order to infer user preference and predict future visits through computation of transitional probabilities. Based on these principles, the research introduced in this paper develops a hybrid Web personalization approach that applies k-order Markov chains towards an integratio...
متن کاملA New Similairty Measure For Spatial Personalization
Extracting the relevant information by exploiting the spatial data warehouse becomes increasingly hard. In fact, because of the enormous amount of data stored in the spatial data warehouse, the user, usually, don't know what part of the cube contain the relevant information and what the forthcoming query should be. As a solution, we propose to study the similarity between the behaviors of the u...

The proposed approach personalizes data retrieval using implicit user information and interests measurements. As the data manipulated is expressed by attributes...
متن کاملUser-Centric Indoor Air Quality Monitoring on Mobile Devices
Since people spend a majority of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) can have a significant impact on human health, safety, productivity, and comfort. Due to the diversity and dynamics of people’s indoor activities, it is important to monitor IAQ for each individual. Most existing air quality sensing systems are stationary or focus on outdoor air quality. In contrast, we propose MAQS, ...
