Personalised Map Interfaces

摘要

Information overload on the internet is a well-known problem. Fuelled by the ability of end-users to edit map data, this problem is now prevalent in geospatial data delivery, especially in Location-Based Services (LBS). The challenge is to develop intelligent techniques to ascertain user interests; knowledge that can be used to provide relevant data. Headed by Dr. Michela Bertolotto, researchers in the Spatial Information Systems Group at University College Dublin (UCD) have developed implicit techniques for inferring user interests and adapting map content accordingly.
