Towards Adaptive Science News

The Adaptation and Personalization Community Group intends to explore and discuss technologies including those with which to enable adaptive science news.

Science news connects society to scientific and technological progress and achievement. It simultaneously benefits multiple audience demographics: students, the general public, and scholars and scientists.

For students, science news can promote scientific literacy, inspire curiosity, and promote critical-thinking skills. Science news can encourage students’ enthusiasm about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

For the general public, science news can inform, mitigate misinformation, and facilitate the appreciation of science as a shared human endeavor.

For scholars and scientists, science news can be read to remain abreast of unfolding discoveries and developments.

Adaptation and personalization technologies for science news websites, then, would greatly benefit society and, therefore, in addition to adaptive encyclopedias, should be considered a use case of interest to our group.

Instead of content authors having to choose one intended audience to write their articles expressly for, content authors could utilize artificial-intelligence-enhanced adaptation and personalization technologies to adapt their articles’ contents, the essences or substances of their articles, into multiple variant articles for multiple intended audiences.
