Interaction profiling in digital libraries through learning tools

Abstract

We present improvements to a learning module, the Learning Server, to be exploited in a digital library system for supporting document management tasks as well as for providing a form of user interface adaptivity based on user classification. Indeed, our system is equipped with a web-based environment endowed with visual tools that are thought for improving the interaction of inexperienced users and for supporting experienced users in an effective accomplishment of their retrieval tasks. By logging user interaction, the Learning Server is able to suggest the most suitable interaction tools for each user.
