This page is a quick overview of the systems developed at PAWS lab.
Adaptive Document Visualization - ADVISE
ADVISE 2D
Two dimensional document visualization based on inter-document similarities. The locations of the documents on the 2D space are determined by their similarities to another documents and users can visually see the relationships of the documents based on their contents.
ADVISE 3D
Three dimensional visualization of documents based on similarities. By adding one more dimension to 2D visualization, users are able to explore the document space more easily and access each document.
ADVISE VIBE (or Adaptive VIBE)
|
|
Two dimensional visualization based on POIs(Point Of Interest, or concepts) and document similarities. The position of the documents are calculated by their relationships with each POI.

Conference Navigator 3
|
|
Conference Navigator 3 (CN3) is a personal conference scheduling tool with social linking and recommendation features. Users can control access to their information in the CN3 system and link their account with third party academic and non-academic social networks such as linkedIn, Facebook, citeulike, or Mendeley. Our main goal is to enhance attendees' experience at the conferences, and also investigate the mechanisms that drives attendees to engage in their research community. (visit Conference Navigator 3)

CUMULATE
CUMULATE is a centralized user modeling server built for the ADAPT2 architecture. It is mainly targeted at providing user modeling support for adaptive educational hypermedia (AEH) systems. CUMULATE maintains as set of overlay models of stidents' knowledge. It uses several techniques for computing student models, including: thresholded averaging, asymptotic user knowledge assessment, time-spent-reading.

News Personalization & Exploration Systems
TaskSieve
 TaskSieve -- mediates query and user model |
An experimental personalized news search system based on task models and the interface to mediate between the query and the task model. Users can select three options (1) query only, (2) task model only, and (3) both. (more)
|
NameSieve
 NameSieve Named-entity Navigator |
A name-entity based news exploration and filtering system. Important named-entities extracted from the search results are provided in the "cloud" form and helps further exploration. (more)

NavEx - Navigation to Examples
|
|
NavEx provides adaptive guidance for accessing online interactive examples. Adaptation allows students to visualize both whether they are ready to explore certain examples and what is their progress with them. NavEx-SN (SN for social navigation) also allows students to relate their progress with the progress of the group. (more)
|
PERSEUS
|
|
PERSEUS is a Personalization Service Engine. It provides adaptive support for non-personalized (educational) hypermedia systems by abstracting content presentation/aggregation from user modeling. PERSEUS protocols are based on RDF and RSS 1.0. Although, PERSEUS was initially developed for ADAPT2 framework, its data model permits seamless support of any other hypermedia application. Currently PERSEUS provides social navigation, topic-based navigation, concept-based navigation, and adaptive filtering techniques. (more)

|
This project is to recommend interesting information using the combined technology of collaborative filtering and trust-based human network. This system is to overcome the emerging problems regarding collaborative filtering recommendations and to investigate how the information propagation is affected by trust among people. (more)
|
Proactive
|
|
The Proactive is content-based recommender system which is based on several knowledge engineering technology and personalized techniques. The system is proprietary to each user by collecting various user's usage patterns. I am particularly interested in how to efficiently make suggestions from multi-faceted point of view. (more)

Social Visualization & Personalized E-learning Systems
Progressor
|
|
The Progressor is a system of personalized visual access to programming problems, which is based on open social user modeling technology and personalized techniques. (more)
|
Progressor+
|
|
Progressor+ extends the benefits from Progressor and addresses the problems in personalized and social learning of how to help students to find the most appropriate educational resources and engage them into using these resources. Progressor+ adopts the same idea of open student modeling visualization and uses generic table representation for accessing and visualizing assorted educational content (more)
