Abstract: This paper proposes a feedback control based adaptive scheme for providing choices for users in a web setting. We hypothesise that using this scheme for updating the number of choices presented produces an efficient method of user interaction. We conducted an experiment with 75 subjects who had to choose a computer they would buy, given monetary constraints, from a large choice set. We used various algorithms for the number of choices to be presented to the users in a time-sequential manner. One algorithm was the proposed simple feedback algorithm, which was proven by the data collected to be the most quality-efficient.
