The authors introduce the concept of personalized user profile for very large databases, as well as the VisualNet model as a representation for such a user profile. A user profile is a small and dynamic structure which contains the user's knowledge of the database, serves as a starting point for the user's access to the database, and supports intelligent database accesses. The basic idea is that a user usually accesses only a very small and stable region of a very large database, and therefore, the size of the user profile is much smaller than the whole database view. It is hoped that most of the user's database search can be conducted in the user profile. Techniques for automatic construction and maintenance of user profiles are discussed. A set of visual reasoning algorithms is presented to support intelligent and interactive user's queries to the database, as well as to coordinate the search between the user profile and the global database. >read more

Network system for profiling and actively facilitating user activities
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for assisting a user in accessing information stored at remote network sites based on the user's past history of network usage is provided for use with an communication and information network, such at the Internet World Wide Web.
Patent
Broadcast interactive multimedia system
TL;DR: In this paper, the transmitted information is augmented with attributes which are used at the receiver to select and then store locally only that information of interest to each receiver's user, wherein the attributes and the user selection pattern determine the criteria for storing information locally.

Important issues in knowledge representation
TL;DR: The relationship between knowledge and the world and the use of knowledge by reasoning agents and the structure of conceptual representations are considered and it is argued that taxonomic classification structures can advance both expressive adequacy and notational efficacy.
