Without user-preference tools, sites like simple.wikipedia.org resort to providing separate URLs instead of providing different views of content for the primary URL.<\/p>\n\n<p>It would both benefit users and provide websites with new opportunities to better meet users&#8217; needs if users could express a greater number of content-customization preferences such as reading level, language fluency, and background knowledge. Artificial intelligence is making it easier for websites to customize content, creating new opportunities to meet finer-grained preferences.<\/p>\n\n<p>The mission of this group is to explore and discuss mechanisms for users to express content-customization preferences. This group will explore and discuss topics including artificial intelligence, adaptive hypermedia, adaptive explanation, adaptive learning, adaptive instructional systems, and user modeling.<\/p>\n\n<p>This group may publish Specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n<p>\n    You are invited to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/groups\/proposed\/#adaptation\">support the creation of this group<\/a>.\n    Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work.
