Improving user modeling via the integration of learner characteristics and learner behaviors
… to identify useful variables for learner modeling in order to identify the subset of variables that proved to be useful in modeling individual learners as they interacted with a computer-based learning environment. The research study first critically assessed the contextual validity and …

Sto(ry)chastics : a Bayesian network architecture for combined user modeling, sensor fusion, and computational storytelling for interactive spaces
… framework for real-time sensor-driven stochastic modeling of story and user-story interaction, which I call sto(ry)chastics. Almost all sensor-driven interactive entertainment, art, and architecture installations today rely on one-to-one mappings between content and participant's actions to tell a …

Computational user intent modeling
User modeling is essential for any information service system (e.g., search engines, recommender systems, and computational advertising) to optimize its service to the end users. The level of user understanding directly determines the upper bound of optimality that such a system can achieve when …

Capacity and Throughput Optimization in Multi-cell 3G WCDMA Networks
User modeling enables in the computation of the traffic density in a cellular network, which can be used to optimize the placement of base stations and radio network controllers as well as to analyze the performance of resource management algorithms towards meeting the final goal: the calculation …

User-Centered Adaptive Information Retrieval
… retrieval systems is that they generally lack user modeling and are not adaptive to individual users. Personalization is expected to break this deficiency and significantly improve retrieval accuracy. In this thesis, we study how to put the user in the center of information retrieval process …

Visualizing Users, User Communities, and Usage Trends in Complex Information Systems Using Implicit Rating Data
… information systems. These systems consider user profile and item information obtained from data explicitly entered by users. There it is possible to classify items involved and to personalize based on a direct mapping from user or user group to item or item group. However, in complex, …

Modeling User Transportation Patterns Using Mobile Devices
… sensing platforms is their mobility, since human users are often in motion. This dissertation presents a set of techniques for modeling and predicting user transportation patterns from cell-phone and social media check-ins. To study large-scale transportation patterns, I created a mobile phone …

Adaptive Intelligent User Interfaces With Emotion Recognition
… dissertation is on creating Adaptive Intelligent User Interfaces to facilitate enhanced natural communication during the Human-Computer Interaction by recognizing users' affective states (i.e., emotions experienced by the users) and responding to those emotions by adapting to the current situation …

Optimizing search user interfaces and interactions within professional social networks
… per day, and connect millions of people. To help users cope with the scale and influx of new information, PSNs provide search functionality. However, most of the search engines within PSNs today still provide only keyword queries, basic faceted search capabilities, and uninformative query-biased …
