An adaptive environment for the user interface of Excel
Open accessAbstract
Software systems developed in recent years are becoming increasingly powerful, but in most cases they tend to abandon the user to deal with the complexity of the system alone.There is an immense need for systems with individual, context-sensitive support.In this paper, we discuss the development of such a support system with special focus on the user interface.We describe the extension of an existing and complex program, Excelm, to an adaptive and customizable system.This extension is called Flexcel and has been implemented and evaluated.The primary aim of this extension is to provide a convenient environment for adapting Excel's user interface to particular users and their current tasks.For example, it allows the user to define new menu entries for actions that are frequently needed and normally require a tedious diatog step.Flexcel also analyzes the user's interaction style and presents adaptation suggestions.A critique component supports the user in his problem solving and learning activities related to the adaptability of Flexcel's user interface.

Another limitation of early adaptive user interface research is that it focused largely on prototype systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
