Abstract
Nowadays, the systems that interact with the user, including computers, are improving very quickly. In this improvement, a great goal for the near future is to create systems able to adapt its behavior according to the needs of a particular user. The key element for this purpose is the user model. In this context, a goal of user modeling is to increase the effective use of computers and many other systems that require more sophistication in its interaction with the user. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to know how the users behave. Then, the anticipation of certain aspects of human behavior, such as goals, actions or preferences is possible. In this article, the development of user models using soft computing is presented. The main approaches to different user modeling are reviewed, and the main techniques used to develop user models are discussed. Also, a particular example is explained in detail.
