摘要：The World Wide Web is the largest distributed information source which is accessed by billions of people all across the world. A unique content source on the web can be accessed by various users for different purposes. Hence it becomes mandatory to capture specific information requirements of each user. This paper proposes a multimodal approach to build profile of users in an incremental manner. The approach proposed in this paper achieves the goal of building user profiles using a hybrid approach. The profile building process is further enriched with the incorporation of web page segmentation technique involving page trees and densitometry. The proposed model extracts the requirement context of the user by utilizing both local and global sources during the profile building process. The experiments conducted on the proposed model confirm the effectiveness of the approach and highlights the channels which carries an edge over others in capturing the user interest.
