Augmenting Autobiographical Memory

From Anita Borg Institute Wiki

Presenter: Andrea Schweer (The University of Waikato)

Augmented autobiographical memory systems aim to support people in remembering events of their lives. My hypothesis is that it is beneficial for such systems to take into account properties of human memory and thus combine context-awareness with a typed graph model. To test my hypothesis, I am performing qualitative end-user studies. I use task-based evaluation to address certain characteristics of memory that make it difficult to employ standard evaluation methods.
