Koji Miyahara, T. Okamoto · Journal of Computer Assisted Learning · 1998
Abstract Recently, large amounts of on‐line information broadcast from private persons/corporations are available via the Internet. In particular, there are large amounts of on‐line resources useful for learning which are currently underutilised due to the sheer volume of information available. The purpose of the study reported in this paper is to develop an information filtering system, which gathers, classifies, stores various kinds of information found on the Internet. The approach taken has been to create filters through the collaboration of members of a community. In this paper, a representation of personal interests and its acquisition method in the system are described.
