Title: Software Agents: Completing Patterns and Constructing User Interfaces
Jeffrey C. Schlimmer
Leonard A. Hermens
Abstract:
To support the goal of allowing users to record and retrieve information,
this paper describes an interactive note-taking system for pen-based
computers with two distinctive features. First, it actively
predicts what the user is going to write. Second, it automatically
constructs a custom, button-box user interface on request. The system is an
example of a learning-apprentice software-agent. A machine
learning component characterizes the syntax and semantics of the user's
information. A performance system uses this learned information to generate
completion strings and construct a user interface.

'agent' automatically discards this email.
