In this paper, we investigate the exploitation of user profiles defined in social tagging services to personalize Web search. One of the key challenges of a personalization framework is the elicitation of user profiles able to represent user interests. We propose a personalization approach that exploits the tagging information of users within a social tagging service as a way of obtaining their interests. We evaluate this approach in Delicious, a social Web bookmarking service, and apply our personalization approach to a Web search system. Our evaluation results indicate a clear improvement of our approach over related state of the art personalization approaches.
Page 2: "Several studies have proven that a user profile can be effectively harvested from these tagging services [1,10], and later exploited on different personalization services, such as ..., and personalized search [6,9,12], ...
"In particular, we investigate if a user profile defined in Delicious can be exploited to personalize a Web search system.
Additionally, in order to evaluate our personalization approach, we propose an automatic technique to generate evaluation sets from social tagging corpora."
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
