Abstract
User modeling tends to be seen as a means to an end: something that is needed to adapt systems to users, and that we want to make as painless and effortless for the users as possible. This paper describes how user modeling can be a goal in itself, a pleasurable activity that provides users with somebody to have meaningful conversations with. The example of interactive Television as an artificial companion for the elderly is explored. In addition, it is shown how techniques for knowledge editing as put forward by the Natural Language Generation community can help to make user modeling easy and pleasant.
