Intelligent Interfaces for Information Retrieval A Review

An intelligent interface for an information retrieval system has the aims of controlling an underlying information retrieval system di rectly interacting with the user and allowing him to retrieve relevant information without the support of a human intermediary Developing intelligent interfaces for information retrieval is a di cult activity and no well established models of the functions that such systems should possess are available Despite of this di culty many intelligent in terfaces for information retrieval have been implemented in the past years This paper surveys these systems with two aims to stand as a useful entry point for the existing literature and to sketch an ana lysis of the functionalities that an intelligent interface for information retrieval has to possess
