Week 6 – Progress on Intent Recognition

Last week, we me met with Department Chair Juan Gilbert, an expert on intent recognition. We discussed several features that may be useful for recognizing intent, primarily time. We believe several features are sufficient for recognizing intent, which are the following: time, whether the user uses the back button, and whether the user selects something. We recognize that different thresholds may make sense for different users, but we believe these three features to be sufficient for complete intent recognition. We also spoke with him about user testing and learned that recording users is not optimal, since that requires significant paperwork. On Tuesday, we went to Tyummi for boba.
