Oregon State develops interactive computers

Oregon State University researchers are working on the design of computers that try to learn from people.

The so-called "rich interaction" computers learn to change their programming by "listening" to the computer user and comparing what it "hears" to its own internal logic.

Researchers say that computer systems designed to learn new programs already form the basis of spam filters that sort e-mail and make recommendations, such as, "If you liked this book, here's another one you might find interesting."

Oregon State wants to make those systems even more advanced, so that computer users can explain what they want the machine to do.

Researchers say the most advanced systems now available only allow the computer user to tell the machine something is right or wrong.
