Neuroscientific User Models: The Source of Uncertain User Feedback and Potentials for Improving Web Personalisation
In this paper we consider the neuroscientific theory of the Bayesian brain in the light of adaptive web systems and content personalisation. In particular, we elaborate on neural mechanisms of human decision-making and the origin of lacking reliability of user feedback, often denoted as noise or human uncertainty. To this end, we first introduce an adaptive model of cognitive agency in which populations of neurons provide an estimation for states of the world. Subsequently, we present various so-called decoder functions with which neuronal activity can be translated into quantitative decisions. The interplay of the underlying cognition model and the chosen decoder function leads to different model-based properties of decision processes. The goal of this paper is to promote novel user models and exploit them to naturally associate users to different clusters on the basis of their individual neural characteristics and thinking patterns. These user models might be able to turn the variability of user behaviour into additional information for improving web personalisation and its experience.

Integrating User Feedback under Identity Uncertainty in Knowledge Base Construction
Users have tremendous potential to aid in the construction and maintenance of knowledges bases (KBs) through the contribution of feedback that identifies incorrect and missing entity attributes and relations. However, as…
Entity ResolutionKnowledge Base ConstructionUncertainty in Repeated Implicit Feedback as a Measure of Reliability
Recommender systems rely heavily on user feedback to learn effective user and item representations. Despite their widespread adoption, limited attention has been given to the uncertainty inherent in the feedback used to …

Individual differences in vibrotactile perception underscore the growing importance of personalization as haptic feedback becomes more prevalent in interactive systems. We propose Vibrotactile Preference Learning (VPL), …
Existence conditions for hidden feedback loops in online recommender systems
We explore a hidden feedback loops effect in online recommender systems. Feedback loops result in degradation of online multi-armed bandit (MAB) recommendations to a small subset and loss of coverage and novelty. We stud…
