Abstract

This paper proposes a method to present personalized information effectively using multiple anthropomorphous agents that know the user's preferences. Conventionally, techniques such as filtering and sorting are used to show the information customized for each user, but it is difficult to naturally reflect human multi-dimensional preferences in such a presentation format. In the proposed method, each agent has a specific viewpoint and interactively points at the contents that the user will be interested in. This technique has been applied to an Internet-based information service for registered PC users.
