Pensieve: Augmenting human memory

View publication

Abstract

Human memory is fallible. We remember certain things, while we completely forget others. Some of the events we experience end up stored in our episodic memory, others disappear completely. Even those stored, very often remain inaccessible, since we do not have reliable mechanisms to retrieve them when required. In this paper we describe Pensieve, a system for augmenting episodic memory, that facilitates capturing of events and retrieving them later, using various relevant cues and associative browsing.
