Abstract
The user profile is commonly used nowadays to support personalization, web search, adaptation and any other user-based features applications including recommendation systems. User profiles are a data structure that is used to store user’s characteristics and preferences. Therefore, it has a significant impact on the recommendation accuracy. However, it contains more sensitive information about the user, such as demographic characteristics and physical location that reveal privacy.
There are different models for user profile representation in the literature. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The most frequently used models are reviewed in this paper. Moreover, this paper investigates the most widely used approaches that handle privacy issues in the user profiling.
