What’s Up at Microsoft Research?
A report from the Microsoft Research TechFest held last week. From the article, “Researchers are working on a project called Stuff I’ve Seen. The search engine can locate files – in any application format – e-mails, Web sites and other documents that a computer user had seen and present it in a unified index. Related to that project is research on how people remember. It includes a timeline of holidays, appointments and news events to act as memory “landmarks.” The timeline, on the left side of a computer screen, can help jog people’s memories as they search for a particular e-mail or file.” You” also read about Gordon Bells’s attempt to digitize much of his life. Much more about the project can be found in a recent slide presentation about Bell’s project.
