Mature products have a multitude of menu options in their GUIs, making it hard for users to find the features they need. The platform will enable interaction through text (and possibly speech) and map these to actions using the current context. The platform will be used by many Microsoft products, including Office and the OS, and will enable more natural interactions between users and computers. The platform will log the usage and use feedback to improve the interactions using machine learning techniques.</I><BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're right! Very interesting.

I think this is derived from work at MS Research, but I wasn't able to find specific projects or papers in a quick look. If you do find anything that appears to be related, I'd like to hear about it.<BR/><BR/>But what platform is Ron working on now? What work is he doing that is related? Do you have a direct link to a publication?<BR/><BR/>I don't know Ron personally, but I know of him. He ran the personalization group at Amazon for a little while.Greg Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1126679841735618312005-09-13T23:37:00.000-07:002005-09-13T23:37:00.000-07:00adding a link to Ronny information http://ai.stanf...adding a link to Ronny information http://ai.stanford.edu/users/ronnyk/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1126679767166488832005-09-13T23:36:00.000-07:002005-09-13T23:36:00.000-07:00I wonder if this related to the platform Ronny i...I wonder if this related to the platform <A HREF="http://ai.stanford.edu/users/ronnyk/" REL="nofollow"> </A> Ronny is working on now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
