In this paper, we present an approach that describes user actions by means of probabilistic deterministic finite- state automatons (PDFA), which are generated from an annotated corpus of user interactions. Based on a training set, different acceptors are created from recording data and can be employed by an adaptation framework to trigger adaptation rules. An evaluation of this approach with a prototype of an interactive TV system is presented.enText/Conference Paper
