A Personal News Agent that Talks, Learns and Explains. Billsus, D. & Pazzani, M. In Autonomous Agents 99, Seattle, 1999. Paper abstract bibtex Research on intelligent information agents has recently attracted much attention. As the amount of information available online grows with astonishing speed, people feel overwhelmed navigating through today's information and media landscape. Information overload is no longer just a popular buzzword, but a daily reality for most of us. This leads to a clear demand for automated methods, commonly referred to as intelligent information agents, that locate and retrieve information with respect to users individual preferences. As intelligent information agents aim to automatically adapt to individual users, the development of appropriate user modeling techniques is of central importance. Algorithms for intelligent information agents typically draw on work from the Information Retrieval (IR) and machine learning communities. Both communities have previously explored the potential of established algorithms for user modeling purposes (Belkin et al. 1997; Webb 1998). However, work in this field is still in its infancy and we see \emph\p̌hantom\User Modeling for Intelligent Information Accessp̌hantom\\ as an important area for future research.
