Abstract
We propose a method that helps users to understand their own interests by extracting terms from selected link texts and generating a new browsing history, and arranging those terms and Web-page icons on to the user's interest space in chronological order. We have implemented a prototype system based on this method. The system's performance was evaluated in two experiments, which revealed that (1) Japanese interest terms can be extracted from the user's selected link texts, (2) the interest-space browser displays the user's interest space on browsing the Web, and (3) the users can use this system to better understand their own interests, recall their past, and reorganize previously browsed Web pages.
