Supporting the user in finding relevant information is one of the major tasks in Information Retrieval. The user-centered approach to IR is based on a user profile that represents the user’s interests and preferences, to obtain relevant information beyond the formulation of a query. Nowadays, the content diffused by people in the Social Web represents a source of primary information to build a user profile.

Abstract

Supporting the user in finding relevant information is one of the major tasks in Information Retrieval. The user-centered approach to IR is based on a user profile that represents the user’s interests and preferences, to obtain relevant information beyond the formulation of a query. Nowadays, the content diffused by people in the Social Web represents a source of primary information to build a user profile. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to propose an event-based approach to user profiling in social media, where an event is identified as a named-entity. Furthermore, by the proposed approach, it is possible to consider the user’s interests evolution over time.
