In this paper, we propose user modeling strategies which
use Concept Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency (CF-
IDF) as a weighting scheme and incorporate either or both
of the dynamics and semantics of user interests. To this end,
we first provide a comparative study on different user modeling strategies considering the dynamics of user interests in
previous literature to present their comparative performance.
In addition, we investigate different types of information (i.e.,
categories, classes and connected entities via various proper-
ties) for entities from DBpedia and the combination of them
for extending user interest profiles. Finally, we build our user
modeling strategies incorporating either or both of the best-
performing methods in each dimension. Results show that
our strategies outperform two baseline strategies significantly
in the context of link recommendations on Twitter.
