An effe ctive information filtering system is one that provides the exact information that fulfills a user 's interest with the minimum effort by th e user to describe it. Such a system will have to be adaptive to th e user changing interest. In this paper we present a learning system for information filtering and selective information dissemination . The learning algorithm is described and th e effectiveness of the system is evaluated in a true information filtering style.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/111","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0111.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/111.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/111","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
