Description/Abstract
A user model that specifies user preferences on message handling is an essential component of an email message categorizer. We present an approach that combines two learning algortihms, i.e. the Naive Bayesian Classifier (NBC) and Progol, to model implicitly and explicitly reflected user preferences that may not be modelled by using either the algorithms alone. An experiment demonstrates the improvement of categorization performance compared to that of using the two algorithms independently.
