| Abstract | This research develops an intelligent message filter for an e-mail system, which mainly applies to AIT e-mail server and AIT students as users. The intelligent message filter automatically sort mails into appropriate mailboxes according to user profiles (user models). The system requires both explicit and implicit user models. The explicit user model requires users to tell the system about themselves and their interests and uninterests. For the implicit user model, the system uses machine learning techniques to generate user profiles, i.e. by observing and analyzing user behaviour. The system also uses parsing methods to analyze the messages and weight calculations. In the development of the system, the first task was to analyze of problem domain “information overload”, then the questionnaires were distributed to all AIT students and 82 students replied. The results from questionnaire also gave data about users interests and non-interests for the system to start with, since the system aims for AIT students as users and the system has no knowledge about users at the beginning. Then the system was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0. |
