Abstract

We present in this paper some attempts to design a Machine Learning method to predict preference knowledge in a multi-agents context. This approach is applied to a corporate knowledge management system.

This work was supported by the CoMMA (Corporate Memory Management through Agents) project [5] funded by the European Commission under Grant IST-1999- 12217, which started beginning of February 2000.
