信息来源和用户对信息的需求日益复杂,正在迅速超越过去的手动浏览和搜索界面。解决复杂性问题的一个长期方法是设计智能信息代理,在寻找和组织信息的过程中提供积极的帮助。这些代理与传统的信息检索不同,它们如何与用户交互,以及它们处理的信息的动态性质。本文综述了麻省理工学院媒体实验室在开发智能信息代理方面的一些工作,特别是作为用户浏览Web的助手。这些代理并不取代传统的浏览或直接操作界面,而是与这样的界面一起工作,从与用户的交互中学习,预测用户的需求,并将用户与可能分享他或她的兴趣的其他人联系起来。
The growing complexity of sources of information and users’ needs for information is fast outstripping the manual browsing and searching interfaces of the past. A long-term approach to the complexity problem is to design intelligent information agents that provide active assistance in the process of finding and organizing information. These agents differ from conventional information retrieval in how they interact with the user and the dynamic nature of the information they deal with. This article surveys some work at the MIT Media Lab in developing intelligent information agents, especially as assistants to users browsing the Web. These agents don’t replace conventional browsing or direct manipulation interfaces, but work with such interfaces to learn from interaction with the user, anticipate the user’s needs, and connect the user with other people who may share his or her interests.
