1. A personal search agent system, comprising:
- a user agent comprising a processor or microprocessor, wherein the processor or microprocessor is programmed to;
receive a query statement from a user;
format the query statement;
forward the query statement to a server-based search manager agent;
receive the response to the query statement; and
display the response to the user;
a search manager agent comprising a processor or microprocessor, wherein the processor or microprocessor is programmed to;
receive a query statement from the user agent;
assign search tasks to one or more search engine task agents;
collect search results;
validate search results;
order search results into a response; and
forward the response to the user agent;
a user miner agent comprising a processor or microprocessor, wherein the processor or microprocessor is programmed to;
observe the user'"'"'s interaction with the user agent; and
learn the behavior and preferences of the user; and
a data mining agent comprising a processor or microprocessor, wherein the processor or microprocessor is programmed to;

Abstract
A system and method for processing information in unstructured or structured form, comprising a computer running in a distributed network with one or more data agents. Associations of natural language artifacts may be learned from natural language artifacts in unstructured data sources, and semantic and syntactic relationships may be learned in structured data sources, using grouping based on a criteria of shared features that are dynamically determined without the use of a priori classifications, by employing conditional probability constraints.
