Title

SiteHelper : a localized agent that helps incremental exploration of the World Wide Web

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
