Abstract :
An adaptive algorithm is proposed in this work for teaming the user profile based on his initial profile and on queries´ interpretation using fuzzy concept hierarchies. The dynamics of the user profile is modeled by employing a new concept, time-words vector hyperspace. The preliminary results from applying this new approach are promising. Future plans and recommendations for further expanding are provided.
