Adaptive Web Sites

Automatically Learning from User Access Patterns
Mike Perkowitz and Oren Etzioni





In IJCAI-97, we challenged the AI community to create adaptive web sites: web sites that automatically improve their organization and presentation by learning from user access patterns.

Although we mentioned a variety of related work in our challenge paper and even more in our talk at IJCAI, we have not been able to acknowledge every related project so far. The intention of this site is to provide references and links to work pertaining to adaptive web sites.
