Algorithms designed to support users in retrieving relevant information base their relevance computations on
user profiles
, in which representations of the users interests are maintained. This paper focuses on the use of
supervised machine learning
techniques to induce user profiles for Intelligent Information Access. The access must be
personalized
by profiles allowing users to retrieve information on the basis of
conceptual content
. To address this issue, we propose a method to learn sense-based user profiles based on WordNet, a lexical database.
