Abstract
This chapter presents a system that uses visualization techniques of multidimensional vector spaces for product search, after processing a document corpus by means of LSI. Introduced algorithms are able to dynamically generate mappings of the most closely related items according to the ‘thematic context’ in the current session. A user navigation starts with required category of Internet shop product at the centre of the diagram, and then focuses on refining choices. Display capabilities include several novel adaptive features. Examples of the system applicability and future directions are also discussed.
