The Adaptive Webbrowser: Problem Statement

The Adaptive Webbrowser: Problem Statement |
Description |
The main problem
to be addressed in this adaptive system is how to
give advice to the user about the interestingness
of a website, and on what data this advice should
be based. The only data available is a list of
websites visited by the user, and a corresponding
list of ratings. Using this data, the system must
be able to predict whether a webpage is interesting
or not, which can be regarded as learning
a continous function with a firm threshhold,
determining when to recommend a page.
If the system is wrong, it has to learn from its
mistakes.
To show its advice to the user, the browser adds
a small in front of the link. A
is added to show a negative advice. See Figure
