  <description><![CDATA[An important component of adaptable interactive systems is the ability to model the system's users. Previous systems have relied on user models tailored to the particular needs of that system alone. This paper presents the notion of a general user model and describes some of our research on building a general user modelling facility that could be used by a variety of applications.

  <description><![CDATA[For interactive systems to communicate in a cooperative manner, they must have knowledge about their users. This article explores the role of user models in such systems, with the goal of identifying when and how user models may be useful in a cooperative interactive system. User models are classified by the types of knowledge they contain, several user modelling characteristics that serve as dimensions for an additional classification of user models are presented, and user model representati...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[An explanation facility is an important component of an expert system, but current systems, for the most part, have neglected the importance of tailoring a system's explanations to the user. This paper explores the role of user modeling in generating expert system explanations, making the claim that individualized user models are essential to produce good explanations when the system users vary in their knowledge of the domain or in their goals, plans, and preferences. To make this argument, ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This article discusses the application of various kinds of default reasoning in systems which must maintain a model of its users. In particular, we describe a general architecture of a domain-independent system for building and maintaining long-term models of individual users. The user modelling system is intended to provide a well-defined set of services for an application system that interacts with various users and needs to build and maintain models of them. As the application system inter...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A major problem with incorporating a user model into an application has been the difficulty of acquiring the in- formation for the user model.  To make the user model effective, past approaches have relied heavily upon the explicit encoding of a large amount of information about potential system users.  This paper discusses techniques for acquiring knowledge about the user implicirly (as the interaction with the user proceeds) in interactions between users and cooperative advisory systems.

  <description><![CDATA[This paper describes a system, VP2, that has been implemented to tutor non-native speakers in English. The system applies Artificial Intelligence techniques developed in Natural Language research. In particular, it differs from standard approaches by employing a model of its users to customize instruction based on knowledge of the student's native language. The system focuses on the acquisition of English verb-particle and verb-prepositional phrase constructions. It diagnoses errors that stud...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This paper describes current work at the University of Pennsylvania centered around providing intelligent help raid advice to users of interactive task oriented systems. This work focuses on three general themes: (1) Help systems should be active rather than passive; (2) help systems should contain explicit models of the user, the task and the system utility being used and (3) the help system should engage in an interactive dialogue with the user in order to identify the information he really...]]></description>
