  • Resurrect Your Old PC
    Resurrect your old PCs Resurrect your old PC Nostalgic for your old beige boxes? Don’t let them gather dust! Proprietary OSes force users to upgrade hardware much sooner than necessary: Neil Bothwick highlights some great ways to make your pensioned-off PCs earn their keep. ardware performance is constantly improving, and it is only natural to want the best, so we upgrade our H system from time to time and leave the old ones behind, considering them obsolete. But you don’t usually need the latest and greatest, it was only a few years ago that people were running perfectly usable systems on 500MHz CPUs and drooling over the prospect that a 1GHz CPU might actually be available quite soon. I can imagine someone writing a similar article, ten years from now, about what to do with that slow, old 4GHz eight-core system that is now gathering dust. That’s what we aim to do here, show you how you can put that old hardware to good use instead of consigning it to the scrapheap. So what are we talking about when we say older computers? The sort of spec that was popular around the turn of the century. OK, while that may be true, it does make it seem like we are talking about really old hardware. A typical entry-level machine from six or seven years ago would have had something like an 800MHz processor, Pentium 3 or similar, 128MB of RAM and a 20- 30GB hard disk. The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because that’s what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my loft, right next to my faithful old – but non-functioning – Amiga 4000.

  • Modeling Intention in Email
    Modeling Intention in Email Vitor R. Carvalho CMU-LTI-08-007 Language Technologies Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University 5000 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213 www.lti.cs.cmu.edu Thesis Committee: William W. Cohen, Chair Tom M. Mitchell Robert E. Kraut Lise Getoor, University of Maryland Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Copyright c 2008 Vitor R. Carvalho Keywords: Machine Learning, Email Management, Ranking To Sarah iv Abstract Email management has a fundamental role in modern work productivity. In this thesis we present evidence that email management can be potentially improved by the effective use of machine learning techniques to model dif- ferent aspects of user intention. We initially propose a taxonomy of user in- tentions in terms of Speech Acts applied to email communication, or “email acts”, and show that email act classification can be largely automated, poten- tially leading to better email prioritization and management. We then describe how machine learning can be used to reduce the chances of costly email addressing errors. One type of costly error is an “email leak”, i.e., mistakenly sending a message to an unintended recipient — a widespread problem that can severely harm individuals and corporations. Another type of addressing error is forgetting to add an intended collaborator as recipient, a likely source of costly misunderstandings and communication delays that can be potentially addressed with intelligent recipient recommendation. We pro- pose several different approaches to address these problems, and show very positive experimental results in a large email collection. In addition, we de- scribe a 4-week long user study based on the implementation of some of the proposed models in a popular email client (Mozilla Thunderbird).
