Abstract

We present a technical architecture for user preference model,and show the nature of the problem represented within a Markov Decision Process combined with adaptive reinforcement learning algorithm.We provide a possible candidate solution for user modeling dynamically to satisfy the users expected preference based on minimal or missing information,it is also a exploration for the evaluation of the user experience when selecting service providers.Simulations of the representative user models show that the adaptive reinforcement learning solutions are effective.

Key words

utility theory / user preference / Markov decision process / reinforcement learning
