Abstract

This paper describes an information visualization agent that realize retrieval to effective WWW information access. In this agent, the link structure of WWW is displayed in a 3-D hyperbolic tree in which the height of a node within the tree indicates a user’s “interestingness”. Here, interestingness is calculated by a fitting function between a page and user-supplied keywords, and this measure can be used to filter irrelevant pages, reducing the size of the link structure. Such agent functions are incorporated within our browser, allowing us to discover desired pages from a large web site incrementally. Relatively large web sites were selected to show the performance of the agent with improved accuracy and efficiency in WWW information access.
