Abstract

A computer method and system for interactive visualization and modification of a user interest model via an interactive graphical user interface is described. The method and system comprise displaying at least one keyword in a circular sector on a ring on the interactive graphical user interface, wherein the keyword represents an interest of the user interest model, wherein a radial position of the keyword on the ring represents a degree of interest stored as part of the user interest model, and wherein the circular sector represents a semantic type of the user interest model. The method and system further enable a user to actively influence the modeling server and graphically modify/change the degree of interest via an interaction component of the interactive graphical user interface.
