Project Description

WebMate, a personal digital assistant, is a promising solution to the problem of finding useful information among a sea of texts and other web documents. By accompanying users as they browse the Internet, the WebMate agent 1) provides URL recommendations dynamically, 2) offers ever more relevant web documents, 3) responds to user feedback, and 4) compiles a daily newspaper with links to documents of interest to the user.

The WebMate architecture consists of a stand-alone proxy that monitors the user's actions to provide information for learning and search refinement, and an applet controller that interacts with the user.
