4. display sentence
5. take 4 words of about the same length from the same page
6. display the 4 words
7. check and score, go on

To explore

• IBM DeepQA Project

Inspiration

• reading Learning science : Actively recalling information from memory beats elaborate study methods, ScienceDaily January 2011, trying http://quiz.thefullwiki.org and considering http://fabien.benetou.fr/Cookbook/Cognition#DailyExercisesFeed again

Distribution of PIM methods by Utopiah

This project (created the 05/11/2010) has no bounty, offer one

Principle

Gather data and represent the distribution of note taking methods per country/job/age and other meaningful categories.

Example

in France

Notes

• the methods are not exclusive
• this rough initial estimation has been done following participation to few events in a cross section of the population

Applications

• communicate efficiently on PIM tools
• facilitate transition from one method to the other

Solution

• gather statistics
  • INSEE
  • OpenData
• generate our own questionnaire

Inspiration

• discussion on freenode following a question by nicktick (09:09 05/11/2010) regarding the note taking method of the french population

RealTime healthy behavior monitoring by Utopiah

This project has no bounty, offer one

Principle

As most laptops/netbooks but even mobile devices have webcam integrated by default, OpenCV (Open Computer Vision Library) could make be part of a nice "healthy life suggestion engine" (behavior pattern -> suggestion)

Example

Applications

• Self-monitoring of disabled and elderly population using Internet in always increasing numbers.
  • "the machine wont get tired of reminding them of the right behavior" (Paola)
• It could also be networked and tailored by medical professionals.

Solution

• Build a database of positions as pictures transformed to abstracted positions (vectors?) then thanks to an ML technique (like ANN) make it a bit more flexible
• Existing databases of raw data (unanalized pics/videos with manually described behavior) are important as researchers might disagree on what thresholds, filters and processes lead to better abstract information (see facial+expression+database query on Google Scholar)

Inspiration

• OpenCV webcam head tracking + KDE4

NoName by Ari?

This project has no bounty, offer one

• Thoughts - Time Stamps can be used to auto log events from the watch's memory.
  • i.e. - Irregular heart beat or prolonged stay at a location would prompt for event entry.

DIY HW device by Utopiah

This project has no bounty, offer one

• voice recording device with contextual information (time+geodata, eventually heartbeat)
  • cradle at home to automatically
    • unload the recorded mp3
    • convert it to text
    • upload the resulting content (text) + metadata (contextual information) to the PIM (wiki or other)

This project has no bounty, offer one

default features

• versionning system
• easilly add text
• easilly add personnal data
  • meeting
  • people
  • notes
  • pictures
• export to txt/yaml/xml
• module ready
• extremely simple way to link data
• ...

focusing on classic usage

• book notes
• social network
• agenda
• videos
• do query based on tags
• import from other system
• intermap
• ...

exploiting data

• recommendation system
• templates for queries
• ...

Each group is supposed to be done in sequential order as it built from the previous one.

• GNU Affero General Public License (aGPL) by the Free Software Foundation
• Open Data according to Wikipedia
  • so that user don't get locked-in
