Exploiting learning technologies for World Wide Web agents

The paper illustrates how machine learning techniques can be utilised within intelligent software agents which assist users with the management of Web-based information. The authors discuss a number of recent activities within the Learning Agents & Systems group at Aberdeen, namely: a generic Web browsing assistant; an agent which constructs personalised travel brochures; the application of clustering techniques to Web browser histories; and multi-agent support for adaptive user querying.
