The methods center on the construction and use of a set of distinct probabilistic models that predict (1) items that may be forgotten, (2) the expected relevance of the items, and (3) the cost of interruption associated with alerting about a reminder. We describe the use of this set of models in the Jogger reminder prototype that employs predictions and decision-theoretic optimization to compute the value of reminders about meetings.}, publisher = {Microsoft Research}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/investigation-of-principles-of-context-sensitive-reminding/}, number = {MSR-TR-2010-174}, }
