ABSTRACT:
A system and method for adaptively traversing a network of linked textual or multi-media information utilizes one or more heuristics to explore the network and present information to a user. An exploration or search heuristic governs activity while examining and exploring the linked information resources, while a presentation heuristic controls presentation of a manageable amount of information resources to the user. The system and method accept relevance feedback from the user which is used to refine future search, retrieval, and presentation of information resources. The user may present an information query of various degrees of specificity or the system and method may search and present information resources based entirely on relevance feedback from the user.
