A Learning Apprentice for Browsing
----------------------------------
This talk describes the task of browsing and an agent we have developed
to improve the speed and success rate of browsing. The agent is a
learning apprentice: it monitors the user's normal browsing actions and
learns a measure of "relevance" to the user interests. It searches the
library being browsed, uses the learned measure to evaluate items and
presents to the user those that are most relevant. The paper discusses
the main issues raised during the development of the browsing agent.
These are of general interest not only because browsing is of consider-
able practical importance but also because it represents a prototypical
task for learning apprentice research.
