Attention Management
Learning in pervasive, context-aware computing environments to improve user efficiency is our overall research goal. The Attention Manager classifies and learns user activity patterns and predicts the best opportunities to interrupt minimizing efficiency loss due to cognitive context swapping while maintaining user task focus. The next goal is to improve user performance through better understanding of RADAR as a tool. Software instrumentation and learning algorithms identify task boundaries and task sequences RADAR will be able to help users when they are confused and cycling.

Evaluation
Off-the-shelf test stimuli and software that meets the scope and complexity needs of the RADAR evaluation is not available. The Test Group is responsible for constructing the suite for testing RADAR and executing the annual human subject evaluation test. This test is used by DARPA and independent external evaluators to measure RADAR performance.

HCI Design
Investigating innovative user interfaces to make the learning components effective for users, including feedback and interaction techniques so components only interrupt users at good times, and provide appropriate interaction techniques and visualizations so users can understand and control what is happening.

Intelligent Information Management
Users are frequently frustrated with current information management systems. In many cases users are stuck repeatedly performing the same mundane tasks. The RADAR IIS group is building agents that learn to assist users in performing these tasks.

Intelligent Scheduling
The Intelligent Scheduling Group is concerned with developing a prototype intelligent calendar scheduling system that will investigate many of the relevant research issues in the field. One of our goals is to build and demonstrate a calendar scheduler with intelligent capabilities significantly beyond the state-of-the-art available in today's commercial products.

Natural Language Processing/Email
The RADAR NLP/Email team is focused on the following research questions:
- What is the best way to represent incoming email so that it can be interpreted by RADAR in the most useful ways?
- What are the most effective techniques for high-precision understanding of messages?
- How can message understanding algorithms learn effectively in the wild?
