Abstract

Intelligent agents should be used to assist users of the WWW. Identifies a number of key components in such a system and proposes a system architecture. Designs a learning agent along with the underlying algorithms for the discovery of areas of interest from user access logs. The discovered topics can be used to improve the efficiency of information retrieval by prefetching documents for the users and storing them in a document database in the system. Implements a prototype system

Abstract

Over the last few years the use of the agent/multi-agent paradigm has grown sharply. This paradigm has been applied to different fields including control processes, mobile robots, and information retrieval. In this paper, we present a system architecture based on the agent and multi-agent paradigm that allows us to retrieve and manage any kind of information from the Internet. We present our architecture as a generic and open system architecture. One of its main features is the agents' independence from the network's dynamic. We explain in detail what has already been done in our architecture as well as our future plans

Abstract

The growing complexity of sources of information and users' needs for information is fast outstripping the manual browsing and searching interfaces of the past. A long-term approach to the complexity problem is to design intelligent information agents that provide active assistance in the process of finding and organizing information. These agents differ from conventional information retrieval in how they interact with the user and the dynamic nature of the information they deal with. This article surveys some work at the MIT Media Lab in developing intelligent informations, especially as assistants to users browsing the Web. These agents don't replace conventional browsing or direct manipulation interfaces, but work with such interfaces to learn from interaction with the user, anticipate the user's needs, and connect the user with othe people who may share his or her interests

Abstract

Describes the concept of a proxy based information classification and filtering utility, named Web Assistant. On the behalf of users a private view of the WWW is generated based on a previously determined profile. This profile is created by monitoring the user anf group activities when browsing WWW pages. Additional features are integrated to allow for easy interoperability workgroups with similar project interests, maintain personal and common hotlists with automatic modification checks and a sophisticated search engine front-end

Abstract

Presents an overview of intelligent software agents in information retrieval, including an explanation of agents and agent architecture, and presents several agent systems. Distinguishes between agents as individual entities, whose properties and characteristics are described separately, and agent systems as collections of agents utilised for information retrieval tasks, which are discussed in terms of individual implementations

Abstract

Presents a Guided tour system for the WWW, called Ariadne, which implements the ideas of trails and guided tours, originating from the hypertext field. Ariadne appears as a Java applet to the user and it stores guided tours in a database format separated from the WWW documents included in the tour. Itd main advantages are: an independent user interface which does not affect the layout of the documents being part of the tour, branching tours where the user may follow alternative routes, composition of existing tours into aggregate tours, overview map with indication of which parts of a tour have been visited an support for getting back on track. Ariadne is available as a research prototype, and it has been tested among a group of university students as well as casual users on the Internet

Abstract

Reviews the Autonomy intelligent search agent for the Internet. The system searches for Internet sites based on a description of the search problem, the user selects suitable documents and the search is retained using this selection. The evaluation indicates that Autonomy is not suited to ad hac one-off searches as it takes too long compared to more traditional search engines. Search agents could be used for monitoring the WWW, or searching newspapers

Abstract

Reviews 3 WWW programmes that help deal with information overload. Farcast is a personalized new service in which all commands are delivered and information retrieval via email. It uses droids or electronic agents to search the full text of newsfeeds and send summaries. Quarterdeck's WebCompass is a search manager that employs multiple resources to search the Internet for relevant material based on user-defined queires. It generates summaries based on the most significant sentences in the entire document. Search results are displayed on a multi-pane interface. ForeFront Group's Web-Whacker automatically searches user-defined Web sites, organises them into categories and downloads them into a database that resides on the user's computer. The sites can then be browsed off-line

Abstract

Describes the Internet Fish Construction Kit, a tool for building persistent, personal, dynamic information gatherers for the WWW. Internet Fish (IFISH) differ from current resource discovery tools in that they are introspective, incorprating deep structural knowledge of the organization and services of the Web, and are also capable of on-the-fly reconfiguration, modification and expansion. Introspection lets IFISH examine and automatically remember not only what information has been uncovered but also how that information was derived

Abstract

Evaluates a range of commercially available software designed to act as intelligent search agents to assist users find materials of interest on the Internet and WWW or selects for them without asking. Notes that existing search engines can be useful in finding information but their different features and sometimes unfriendly interfaces can be confusing and intelligent search agents may be able to overcome these difficulties. Singles out one package: Autonomy; from Autonomy Corporation, describes its specific features and reports results of a test conducted with the software. Concludes that, from the test results, Autonomy is not yet ready to challenge the existing Internet search engines, which in the tests performed better than Autonomy with regard to recall and precision of information retrieval. Autonomy did not give enough feedback to control the search action

Abstract

Proposes an alternative way in assisting users in finding information on the WWW. Since the Web is made up many Web servers, instead of searching all the Web servers, proposes that ech server does its own housekeeping. A software agent named SiteHelper is designed to act as a housekeeper for the Web server and as a helper for a Web user to find relevant information at a particular site. In order to assist the Web user in finding relevant information at the local site, SiteHelper interactively and incrementally learns about the Web user's areas of interest and aids them accordingly. To provide such intelligent capabilities, SiteHelper deploys enhanced HCV with incremental learning facilities as its learning and inference engines

Abstract

As part of the ongoing Illinois Digital Library Initiative project, this research proposes an intelligent agent approach to Web searching. In this experiment, we developed 2 Web personal spiders based on best first search and genetic algorithm techniques, respectively. These personal spiders can dynamically take a user's selected starting homepages and search for the most closely related homepages in the Web, based on the links and keyword indexing. A graphical, dynamic, Jav-based interface was developed and is available for Web access. A system architecture for implementing such an agent-spider is presented, followed by deteiled discussions of benchmark testing and user evaluation results. In benchmark testing, although the genetic algorithm spider did not outperform the best first search spider, we found both results to be comparable and complementary. In user evaluation, the genetic algorithm spider obtained significantly higher recall value than that of the best first search spider. However, their precision values were not statistically different. The mutation process introduced in genetic algorithms allows users to find other potential relevant homepages that cannot be explored via a conventional local search process. In addition, we found the Java-based interface to be a necessary component for design of a truly interactive and dynamic Web agent

Abstract

An overview of the Internet is provided. It describes what the Internet is, how and when it was started, and the four main functions it currently offers. It then focuses on the World Wide Web, and in particular robots and search engines. An overview is provided of both robots and search engines, with some examples and illustrations. It concludes with how to choose a search engine for a particular enquiry, gives some hints and tips for Internet searches, and emphasises that good retrieval is achieved not only by good search engines but also by responsible Web mastering which helps to disseminate effectively any Internet published material.
