“…are grouped into sets containing similar items (Jain et al, 1999). In stylometry we have a supervised classification problem, since we are provided with a set of pre-classified objects and try to categorize a newly encountered object into these existing sets as in the case of information filtering (Foltz and Dumais, 1992).…”

Abstract. This study investigates the writing style change of two Turkish authors, Çetin Altan and Yaşar Kemal, in their old and new works using respectively their newspaper columns and novels. The style markers are the frequencies of word lengths in both text and vocabulary, and the rate of usage of most frequent words. For both authors, t-tests and logistic regressions show that the length of the words in new works is significantly longer than that of the old. The principal component analyses graphically illustrate the separation between old and new texts. The works are correctly categorized as old or new with 75 to 100% accuracy and 92% average accuracy using discriminant analysisbased cross validation. The results imply higher time gap may have positive impact in separation and categorization. For Altan a regression analysis demonstrates a decrease in average word length as the age of his column increases. One interesting observation is that for one word each author has similar preference changes over time.

“…Techniques being applied in automated recommendation systems have their roots in information filtering and related fields such as information retrieval and categorization [FoDu92;BeCr92]. Hence, recommender systems are usually distinguished into those using content-based filtering (see section 3.1) and those using collaborative filtering (see section 3.2).…”

“…This builds on existing work on personalised delivery of information (Foltz and Dumais 1992), which leads to using agents to deal with the information overload problem (Maes 1994). The software agent paradigm in this context provides a framework that eases the consideration of user interests and context in the process of information filtering and retrieval (Rhodes and Maes 2000;Lieberman et al, 2001).…”

We investigate the application of multi-agent systems to develop intelligent information interfaces for connected communities, a class of computer applications aimed at enhancing the way people interact and socialise in geographically co-located communities such as neighbourhoods. In this context, we study the problem of providing effective information management in support of social interaction when a diverse range of computing devices is employed. The novelty of our approach is based on combining innovative interactive devices with a framework based on agent roles in order to support the effective flow of community-related content for the people of a given locality. In particular, we have integrated existing techniques for information retrieval and filtering with measures of content popularity, to ensure that documents in the community system are optimally available. After reporting on the potential presence of the system in the community, we report on the development of a framework for multi-agent systems in which agents provide a number of services aimed at facilitating personalised and location-dependent information access to members of the community. We also present a summary of the results of an expert evaluation of the information flow resulting from the communication between agents, and a user-evaluation of the information dissemination facilities provided by the system. q
