Personal Assistants for the Web:
An MIT Perspective
Dep. Of Computer Science95323-016 김광수
Introduction The problem of information complexity Solution : Intelligent information agent
- Active assistance in finding and organizing information
- Like a human assistant The word “agent” : assistant
Intelligent Information Agent Information in the Web
• Highly unstructured• Natural language , pictures
Partial understanding => effective assistance to the
user
Information Retrieval- static databases, concentrated , organized in records- a conversational paradigm( query, hits )
But, on the Web,Information Intelligent Agent- hypertext, distributed, unstructured, non-textual information- active, proactively trying to gather information even without the user’s explicit command
Letizia information reconnaissance agent It watches your Web browsing to try to
learn what topics you are interested in. It searches Semantic neighborhood of the
current page to discover other pages you might be interested in
User browsing
User browsing
Letizia browsing
Letizia browsing
Letizia A co-operative venture between the
user and Letizia While you search “deep” (DFS)
, Letizia searches “wide” (BFS)
User Browsing
Letizia Search Candidates
Letizia Recommendations
Remembrance Agent information reconnaissance agent RA maintains the user’s personal
information ( ex. the user’s e-mail, the set of files in the user’s home directory )
It shows messages that are relevant to the currently viewed text
An engineer reads email about a project RA might remind her of project schedules,
status reports, and other resources related to the project
Let’s Browse Allow a group to collaboratively browse
together Ex) business meeting , WebTV for family By intersecting individual profiles of the
users A Letizia-like scan of a breadth-first
neighborhood surrounding each user’s home page, or their organization’s home page
Firefly Collaborative filtering agent Every person says what items they like
and dislike New items are recommended to a user
based on the opinions of people with similar taste
Yenta Yenta introduces the users who share
similar tastes to each other (match-making)
Yenta indexes e-mail & personal files like RA
Distributed, peer-to-peer communication, no central site
Butterfly A recommendation system for chat
channels The user converses with the Butterfly
“chatterbot” Butterfly periodically scans the thousands
of available chat channels, sampling each only for a short time
ExpertFinder EF assists with the problem of finding
another user who is knowledgeable to answer a question
EF monitors a user’s activity within desktop applications
Ex) for Java programming
Tête-à-Tête Matchmaking between buyers and sellers
in Electronic Commerce The paradigm of integrative negotiation
- multiple dimensions rather than just price
The Footprints Sytem “history-rich” visualizing history-of-use in a complex
information space Nodes are documents (from any web
site), links are traversals
Information Agents Can be Controversial It can make mistakes But
- It can be used with conventional direct-manipulation software- feedback between the user and the agent
Intelligent information agents can help the users !
