Combining Various Methods of Automated User Decision and Preferences Modelling

In this paper we present a proposal of a system that combines various methods of user modelling. This system may find its application in e-commerce, recommender systems, etc. The main focus of this paper is on automatic methods that require only a small amount of data from user. The different ways of integration of user models are studied. A proof-of-concept implementation is compared to standard methods in an initial experiment with artificial user data...
