Abstract

The research focused on user evaluations of two algorithms, a Kohonen algorithm category map for browsing, and an automatically generated concept space algorithm for searching. The results indicate that a Kohonen self-organizing map based algorithm can successfully categorize a large and eclectic Internet information space (the Entertainment sub-category of Yahoo) into manageable sub-spaces that users can successfully navigate to locate a homepage of interest to them. It is shown that a user can enhance a keyword-based search by using an automatically generated concept space.
