Incorporating filtering techniques in a fuzzy linguistic multi-agent model for information gathering on the web Herrera Triguero, Francisco Herrera Viedma, Enrique Martínez, L. Herrera, J.C. López Herrera, Antonio Gabriel Web Fuzzy linguistic modelling Filtering Intelligent agents Information retrieval In (Computing with Words, Wiley, New York, 2001, p. 251; Soft Comput. 6 (2002) 320; Fuzzy Logic and The Internet, Physica-Verlag, Springer, Wurzburg, Berlin, 2003) we presented diferent fuzzy linguistic multi-agent models for helping users in their information gathering processes on the Web. In this paper we describe a new fuzzy linguistic multi-agent model that incorporates two information filtering techniques in its structure: a content-based filtering agent and a collaborative filtering agent. Both elements are introduced to increase the information filtering possibilities of multi-agent system on the Web and, in such a way, to improve its retrieval issues. 2009-10-02T12:16:24Z 2009-10-02T12:16:24Z 2004 journal article Herrera-Viedma, E.; Herrera, F.; Martínez, L.; Herrera, J.C.; López, A.G.
