Abstract
At first blush, user modeling appears to be a prime
candidate for straightforward application of
standard machine learning techniques.
Observations of the user's behavior can provide
training examples that a machine learning system
can use to form a model designed to predict future
actions. However, user modeling poses a number of
challenges for machine learning that have hindered
its application in user modeling, including: the
need far larga data cots: the need far laheled data
