Abstract

Nowadays, almost everyone holds some form or other of a personal life archive. Automatically maintaining such an archive is an activity that is becoming increasingly common, however without automatic support the users will quickly be overwhelmed by the volume of data and will miss out on the potential benefits that lifelogs provide. In this paper we give an overview of the current status of lifelog research and propose a concept for exploring these archives. We motivate the need for new methodologies for indexing data, organizing content and supporting information access. Finally we will describe challenges to be addressed and give an overview of initial steps that have to be taken, to address the challenges of organising and searching personal life archives.

  • The fact that much recorded information is never looked at again and the sheer amount of data may prevent individuals from meaningful interaction with stored content could limit the transformative power of modern technologies.

    “the fact that much of the recorded information is never looked at again and that the sheer amount of data may prevent individuals from a meaningful interaction with the stored content (cf.Dang-Nguyen et al., 2018;Whittaker et al., 2010) could also limit the transformative power of modern technologies.”

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.
