Concept-based, Adaptive Human-computer Interaction

Aiming at intelligent interfaces this paper describes research on human-computer interaction (HCI) that is based on concepts and evolves during the systems usage. The concepts are extracted out of past user interactions utilizing the approach o f Conceptual Analogy BB or97]. They are used to assist navigation and manipulation tasks visually and acoustically at increasing levels of generalization. Here we motivate the concept-based approach, describe the adaptive HCI that can be achieved with it, and exemplify the approach in an abstract domain.
