The Use of Increasingly Specific User Models in the Design of Mixed-Initiative Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3060))

Abstract

Work in the field of mixed-initiative interaction [1, 2, 3] suggests a more flexible approach to the reasoning process in artificial intelligence systems. In a mixed-initiative system, both the computer and the user can play an active role in a problem-solving session. At any given time, either party might take control of a session. The primary goal behind a mixed-initiative system is to take advantage of the fact that computers and people have very different strengths when it comes to solving problems.
