Abstract:
This paper presents a user modeling and personalisation framework for providing personalized services to users through their mobile devices during large sports events. The user model combines the knowledge of sports events the user physically attends and the knowledge of the user's interaction behavior when consuming multimedia content from his mobile while away from the sporting event's venue(s). The user model employs both explicit and implicit modeling techniques which is able to learn and represent shifts in the user's preferences. Ontologies are used to formalize the user model and domain knowledge thereby disabling ambiguities in preferences specification but introducing reasoning capabilities.
