Abstract;With the growth of information technology and the increasing capacity of storage devices, various information visualization techniques and information retrieval techniques have been proposed. In most of such systems integrating these techniques, retrieved information is visualized and users browse it. The interaction to visualized information is, in general, browsing or exploring, and it does not reflect to next information retrieval directly. In this paper, we propose a system that estimates the user's searching viewpoint from distances' relation between information nodes in the browser. With the estimated viewpoint, distances between information nodes are calculated and each information nodes are placed into the browser again. (author abst.)
