Abstract

This paper describes the PENG project that integrates personalized push and pull technologies to access relevant information. PENG integrates several key tasks, including personalized filtering, retrieval, and presentation of multimedia news, into a single system. In this paper we provide an overview of PENG, describing our approach to constructing a dedicated retrieval and content management system for a specific user group. We also report critically on the results of a user and task based evaluation.
