Abstract

We present a tool, SKIPPER, which personalizes browsers of large information bases by (1) autonomously detecting and recording documents that are of apparent personal interest to the current user, and (2) by highlighting and presenting relevant browser options to the user in a hierarchically structured fashion. Thereby browser options are organized according the a relevance ranking of the respective documents, and our tool is designed to take into account that document relevance realistically changes over time.
