Th e ad a ptive lea rning alg orithm of the syst em is derived from th e statisti cal consid e ration - what keywords are useful for retrieving items in whi ch th e user want to see . Ac cording to th e algorithm , th e system orga nizes a personal profile to re fl e ct th e use r's intere sts from an e mpty profile through usersys tem inte ra ction - th e system dis plays items a nd th e user returns th e answer , \" int eresting\" or \" unint ere sting \" . Th e syst em gives the user items according to his or her interest e stimated using th e user 's personal profil e. Th e density of th e interesting items at th e he ad of the sequ en ce of items sort ed by th e s yst em is as high as that in th e items re tri eved using the keyword mat ching method whose Boole an expression of keyword s was mad e by a rese ar cher who has mu ch expe ri ence in pat e nt retrieval.
