ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of adaptive user interfaces highly depends on the how accurately adaptation satisfies the needs of users. This paper presents an empirical study that examined two adaptation techniques applied on lists of textual selections. The study measured user performance controlling the accuracy of the suggestions made by the adaptive user interface. The results indicate that different adaptation techniques bare different costs and gains, which are affected by the accuracy of adaptation.

Recommendations
Predictability and accuracy in adaptive user interfaces
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWhile proponents of adaptive user interfaces tout potential performance gains, critics argue that adaptation's unpredictability may disorient users, causing more harm than good. We present a study that examines the relative effects of predictability and ...
Exploring the design space for adaptive graphical user interfaces
AVI '06: Proceedings of the working conference on Advanced visual interfacesFor decades, researchers have presented different adaptive user interfaces and discussed the pros and cons of adaptation on task performance and satisfaction. Little research, however, has been directed at isolating and understanding those aspects of ...
A comparison of static, adaptive, and adaptable menus
CHI '04: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSoftware applications continue to grow in terms of the number of features they offer, making personalization increasingly important. Research has shown that most users prefer the control afforded by an adaptable approach to personalization rather than a ...
