• Human-Machine Collaboration & the Problem of Information Overload

  Mon, 17 Aug 2009, 21:30 - 23:30 in Toronto, Canada

  AbstractAs wonderful as they are, new search and computation engines can only do so much to abate the problem of information overload. To achieve more signal and less noise with respect to information, more needs to be done on the pull side of the push-pull spectrum of information access. One part of the solution lies in giving the user more control to create, expand and acquire personal knowledge with the assistance of machines, namely software agents.
