Learning user model by neural networks

As more information becomes available electronically, tools for finding information of interest to users become increasingly important. Building tools for assisting users in finding relevant information is often complicated by the difficulty in articulating user interest in a form that can be used for searching. The goal of the research described is to build a system for generating comprehensible user profiles that accurately capture user interest with minimum user interaction.
