's School of Computer Science Web pages. WebWatcher accompanies users from page to page, suggests appropriate hyperlinks, and learns from experience to improve its advice-giving skills. We describe the learning algorithms used by WebWatcher, experimental results showing their effectiveness, and lessons

The Rhizomer Experience

by unknown authors
"... Abstract—Rhizomer is a generic semantic metadata browser and editor. It is based on “classic ” HTML paradigms (table, form, etc.) in order to provide an easy and accessible user experience. For end-users, it looks like the web pages they are used to deal with. However, the semantics that lay behind ..."

"... Abstract Many financial markets are characterized by strong relationships and networks, rather than arm's-length, spot-market transactions. We examine the performance consequences of this organizational choice in the context of relationships established when VCs syndicate portfolio company inv ..."

of specifications. Once we control for network effects in our models of fund and portfolio company performance, the importance of how much investment experience a VC has is reduced, and in some specifications, eliminated. Finally, we provide initial evidence on the evolution of VC networks. Key words: Venture

Focused Web Searching with PDAs

by Orkut Buyukkokten, Hector Carcia-Molina, Andreas Paepcke - In Intl. World Wide Web Conf. (WWW , 2000
