Abstract
The HMP project sets out to discover if computer systems can aid human recall. The experiment will take many months to complete. There are many difficult challenges ahead. These include: discovering what information users would benefit from being able to recall; designing and building a multi-media distributed system that is sufficiently robust to support our application; designing a low-intensity user-interface for the HMP; improving the accuracy of our analysers; and most importantly, devising acceptable techniques for evaluating the system.
