Abstract: For open-ended information tasks, users must determine how to best use their time in sifting through many potentially relevant documents. Document triage is the process of rapidly assessing the potential value of documents with respect to the task at hand. Normally, people perform triage using multiple applications in concert: a search engine interface presents lists of potentially relevant documents; a document reader displays their contents; and a third tool—a text editor or a more specialized application—is used to record notes and assessments. To support document triage, we have developed a multi-application environment that combines an information workspace with a modified document reader. This environment infers users' interests based on their interactions with both applications, coupled with an analysis of the characteristics and content of the documents they are interacting with. It then uses this interest profile to generate visualizations that bring users' attention to documents or parts of documents that match those inferred interests.

But what's here is mine: materialities of physical personal workspaces

TL;DR: Focusing on information work by students in libraries, it is shown that the allocation of physical space and devices to tasks is subtle and multi-faceted, and even transient workspaces show patterns that help the user manage complex tasks.

TextTiling: segmenting text into multi-paragraph subtopic passages
TL;DR: The algorithm is fully implemented and is shown to produce segmentation that corresponds well to human judgments of the subtopic boundaries of 12 texts, which should be useful for many text analysis tasks, including information retrieval and summarization.

TL;DR: It was found that the time spent on a pages, the amount of scrolling on a page and the combination of time and scrolling had a strong correlation with explicit interest, while individual scrolling methods and mouse-clicks were ineffective in predicting explicit interest.

TL;DR: The filterbot model allows collaborative filtering systems to address sparsity by tapping the strength of content filtering techniques and is experimentally validated by showing that even simple filterbots such as spell checking can increase the utility for users of sparsely populated collaborative filtering system.
