Abstract

This poster outlines a new approach for decentralized user modelling using a taxonomy of purposes that define a variety of context-dependent user modelling processes rather than creating and maintaining a single centralized user modelling server. This approach can be useful in distributed environments where autonomous agents develop user models independently and do not necessarily adhere to a common representation scheme.

72 Citations2002Fausto Giunchiglia, Ilya Zaihrayeu

This work proposes a new approach, that it calls "data (base) coordination", that rejects the assumption that the involved databases act as if they were a single (virtual) database, modeled as a global schema.

It is literally impossible to speak of a learner model as a single distinct entity in distributed support environments that will be characteristic of tomorrow's ITSs, and "learner model" will be considered in its verb sense to be an action that is computed as needed during learning.

The preliminary results of how reinforcement-learning agents (i.e. broker agents, or brokers) win the trust of their client in an artificial market I-TRUST are reported, which has incorporated agents’ cooperative reinforcement learning to adjust their portfolio selecting strategy, which is implemented in FIPA-OS.
