Abstract: MINDS (Multiple Intelligent Node Document Servers) is a distributed system of knowledge‐based query engines for efficiently retrieving multimedia documents in an office environment of distributed workstations. By learning document distribution patterns, as well as user interests and preferences during system usage, it customizes document retrievals for each user. A two‐layer learning system has been implemented for MINDS. The knowledge base used by the query engine is learned at the lower level with the help of heuristics for assigning credit and recommending adjustments; these heuristics are incrementally refined at the upper level. © 1986 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
