ADAPTIVE ALGORITHMS FOR PERSONAL AGENTS

Abstarct--This paper presents three projects which represent work in progress. First, a Computerized Adaptive Tutor (CAT) using a novel domain knowledge representation model is discussed. Second, the abstraction to Web documents is proposed using a self-supervised backpropagation network which is trained on alphanumeric characters. Finally, a data visualization scheme using a spirally weighted grid layout for Web documents.
