Neural Networks Approach to User Modeling and Intelligent Interface: A Review and Reappraisal

Abstract

This article provides background and an overview of the neural networks approach to user modeling and intelligent interface. Activities in user modeling and intelligent interface are discussed. Intelligent architectures of various neural network models are introduced to illustrate how neural networks solve problems and learn knowledge of problem solving. The introduction of neural networks helps in associating intelligent capabilities of neural networks, with the activities in user modeling and intelligent interface. The practical utility of neural networks in supporting user modeling and intelligent interfere is demonstrated by reviewing neural networks developed in this area. issues relating to the design of neural networks in various contexts of user modeling and intelligent interface are also addressed.
