MACC'97 Session: Probabilistic Model in Multiagent Systems
In this paper, we describe a knowledge acquisition agent, which constructs probabilistic knowledge from statements written in Internet Web-pages. This agent has two functions as follows : (1) constructing probabilistic knowledge from statements written in Web-pages, and (2) gathering Web-pages from the Internet in order to use them for the knowledge construction. This paper particularly focuses on the gathering function of the agent. This gathering function has a strategy that makes agent access the Internet previously in order to decrease uncertainty in the Internet and to make gathering-plan accurately. A metric for evaluating the strategy is introduced and the strategy is evaluated by using this metric.
