PSUN: A Profiling System for Usenet News

Information overload has become a well-worn term. Anyone who has travelled the highways and byways of the Internet, who has received e-mail or browsed the Usenet News hierarchy is all too familiar with the term. In the following paper we outline the design of the PSUN model to filter Usenet News articles from the Internet. PSUN is an adaptive filtering model which draws on techniques from Information Retrieval, Cognitive Science, Connectionism and Artificial Life.
