Abstract :
Powerbrowser builds on a dynamic, real-time HTML to WML conversion tool and employs implicit feedback to understand a user´s information needs. In addition, we have provided nonlinear navigation, and query-biased summarization. Based on these features, we have developed 3 separate versions of Powerbrowser. In this paper we describe and evaluate three strategies for information retrieval on mobile devices. Results show the effectiveness of our adaptive approach
