Notes that Float: Applying content and context features to facilitate flexible reminding in notes-to-self

While physical note taking tools such as Post-Its afford lightweight reminding facilities through their ability to be situated in highly visible locations, available screen real estate limits how many digital notes we can have visible at the same time. In this paper, we present initial work towards achieving scalable lightweight reminding in large personal note collections, through Notes that Float (NTF), a system which automatically raises the salience of notes through the use of extracted content and learned contextual correlations with a user's activities, location and state.
