Sniffing Around for Providing Navigation Assistance

In this paper we describe an approach to adaptive navigation assistance that is meant to enhance a user's information scent. The navigation assistance is composed of a combination of predictive user navigation modeling and common information retrieval methods. Besides assistance in forward browsing, the assistant helps users in deciding when to switch to searching or backtracking, while taking their navigation preferences into account.
