Temporal Aspects
User goals change as well as
their physical, psychological
and physiological
characteristics
User acquire new skills,
gain experience
Users characteristics and
preferences change over
time
New information about users
becomes continuously
available
The user model needs to be
adapted over time

THUM 2017(Some) Motivations
Can the analysis of content coming from social media reveal
some latent information about people (e.g., features, abilities,
preferences, personality traits) ?
What is the role of the semantics in user modeling
and personalization?

THUM 2017(Some) Motivations
How to effectively build holistic user models merging personal
data coming from social networks with those
coming from self-tracking devices ?
