[comp.ai] AI applications to Human Interface Design

jh0576@leah.Albany.Edu (Joe Houghtaling) (12/01/89)

I'm writing a paper on the application of AI to computer-human interface
designs.  I would be interested in hearing from anyone out there who is doing
work in this area, and would like to initiate a discussion here about the
possibilities and problems involved in such applications. 

What I've discovered so far is that the main contribution of AI to interface
design has been in the area of natural language front ends, mainly to expert
systems.  How productive do you think this effort has been?  And what other
applications have been found for AI in interface design?

Thanks for your time and I look forward to some lively discussion of this 
topic.
