Abstract

This paper explores approaches to Adaptive Information Filtering (AIF) in the context of changing user interests. Based on the existing artificial immune system for email classification (AISEC), we demonstrate an effective extension to classification based on the body of emails. Widening this to the problem of AIF on dynamic web content, we propose to explore dynamic clonal selection algorithms (DCSAs) that include dynamically changing thresholds.
