User Modeling and Big Data
Abstract
User modeling is becoming increasingly important in the Big Data era, especially for data involving users’ social and mobile activities. In social media and mobile applications, accurate user models can provide critical support for various intelligent learning and recommendation functions. In this talk, I will start with several examples of user modeling in social and mobile applications that we are working on. We then explore how user models relate to facets of big data in several aspects, including learnability, efficiency and scalability.
