EAGER: programming repetitive tasks by example
Open accessAbstract
Eager is a Programming by Example system for the HyperCard environment.It constantly monitors the user's activities, and when it detects an iterative pattern, it writes a program to complete the iteration.Programming by Example systems create generalized programs from examples provided by the user.They are faced with the problem of how to display these abstract procedures.Eager utilizes a new interface technique, called anticipation, to show how it has generalized: when it detects a repetitive activity, it highlights menus and objects on the screen to indicate what it expects the user to do next.As users continue to perform their activity, they will notice that the objects they are about to select have already been highlighted by the system.When it becomes apparent that Eager knows how to perform the task correctly, they can tell Eager to complete the task for them.The use of anticipation allows Eager to interfere minimally with the users' normal activities.

In the citing paper
“User testing of Eager showed promise in its ability to detect and highlight the correct menus and objects, however, 'the most striking finding was that all subjects were uncomfortable with giving up control when Eager took over' (p.37).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
