The Reader's Helper: A Personalized Document Reading Environment

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank my colleague Dr. David Stork for first proposing the Reader's Helper concept and for his continued brain storming support, especially in the areas of learning based methods for profile maintenance. I would also like to thank Dr. Ziming Liu for his assistance in discovering and distilling information regarding how people read documents. Finally, I'd like to thank Dr. Jonathan Hull and Dr. Peter Hart for their leadership and guidance during the course of this project.
