- Group:
Andersen Consulting has a new web page which describes their ongoing
intelligent agents
research. The page gives short descriptions of their projects, as
well as one-page "thought-piece" articles on our projects for a
mass-market audience. Current projects include:
- InfoFinder: A system that learns a user's information interests
from sample liked and disliked documents, and proactively presents new
information matching those interests from a variety of on-line
sources.
- ContactFinder: A system that lives on a bulletin board
discussion, remembering who the key contacts are in different areas
and answering questions with referrals.
- BargainFinder: A system for real-time comparison price shopping
on the Internet.
- NewsFinder: A system that finds news and other information for
personalized ubiquitous delivery based on a user's interests,
schedule, and work context.
