Intelligent user interface for a web search engine by organizing page information agents

ABSTRACT

This paper describes an organization method of page information agents for adaptive interface between a user and a Web search engine. Though a Web search engine indicates a hit list of relevant Web pages, it includes many useless ones. Thus a user often needs to select useful Web pages from them with page information like the title, the URL on the hit list, and actually fetch the Web pages for checking relevance. Since the page information is neither sufficient nor necessary for a user, adequate information is necessary for valid selection. Hence we propose adaptive interface AOAI in which different page information agents are organized through human evaluation.
