The QueryGuesser agent
Silvia Schiaffino, Analı́a Amandi · 2000
Abstract. Querying a database via different kinds of Internet and Intranet access is generally a repetitive and time-consuming task. QueryGuesser is an intelligent agent with the capability of generating personalized queries to a database system, according to a particular user's interests. This agent observes a user behavior while he is querying a database and builds a model of his preferences with the information obtained in this process. QueryGuesser uses a technique that integrates Case-Based Reasoning and Bayesian Networks to gradually build a user profile. This profile is used to generate the most relevant queries in advance and offer him the information he needs in a timely manner.
