Content and Topics

This course deals with the topic "User Behavior Modeling" in general and selected subdomains. The approach of modeling human information processing either in their entirety or in parts, follows two purposes. On one hand the goal is to create systems which are able to adapt their parameters to the user's specific needs. The results are personalized information retrieval systems, adaptive agents and interfaces, systems that are able to recognize human affects and behavior, etc. On the other hand the systems can simulate users e.g. to evaluate new interfaces, understand the flow of information in social networks or to create cognitive systems in general. Of course the purposes of adaptation and simulation are often interwoven.

At the beginning of the course we will present different topics concerning "User Behavior Modeling" but own ideas or suggestions are also welcome.

Course and Relation between Seminar and Project

The seminar is offered for Bachelor students to achieve an overview about the topic "User Behavior Modeling", its different subdomains and methods. The assignment is to become acquainted with a chosen subdomain, hold a presentation and write a paper about this topic. In the end the Bachelor students receive 2SWS/3ECTS. The project is offered for the Master students and consists of the seminar and a practical work. Hence the Master students also need to participate in the seminar, process the seminar assignment and additionally solve a practical work to receive altogether 2+4=6SWS/3+3=6ECTS.
