点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Web personalization is an Internet technique for adapting websites to individuals. In general, it is based on the user profile, which summarizes what the website knows about the individual user. Unfortunately, this information is too often obtained without the user's knowledge or consent. In this research, I focus on a special class of web personalization technique, known as recommender systems, which have been used primarily in the context of electronic commerce. Recommender systems have also been used in the context of e-learning in order to help students choose programs and courses.
