Description: |
People vary in their backgrounds, so even if they want to read about the same content, they might want different presentations of that content. For example, an expert in a field might appreciate the conciseness of abbreviations or generalised abstractions, whereas a novice might want abbreviations expanded with links to full definitions and might prefer concrete examples, an American might want imperial units whereas most of the rest of the world want metric, etc. Traditionally this has been solved through multiple authors (re)creating content (e.g. books) targeted at particular audiences. However, with digitised information (e.g. web pages) there is both the capacity to automate some personalisation at the consumer end (e.g. ebook reader, phone or computer) and increasingly there is a need for such personalisation as people seek ever-more specialised information which may be available from few authors. The goal of this project is to apply NLP techniques (e.g. word stemming to identify key words which can then be presented according to the user's taste) to develop software that can automatically personalise web pages. | |
