What's Xobni all about? Using Bayesian inference to categorize the importance of emails?
2 comments

I'm sure there's a bit of Bayesian theory involved. I also hear they'll be extracting data from the email to spot trends and stuff. Reading Gabor's blog might give you and idea of what they're all about. http://www.gaborcselle.com/blog/2006/07/how-researchers-are-reinventing-mail.html
Think bigger.

We're making email suck less. The work here is at the intersection of Machine Learning, NLP, systems programming, and UI stuff. We're working on something that you will use every day.

You assume your users use Outlook, correct? I haven't used a desktop email client since 2001... How will Xobni help someone like me?
That would be somewhat shortsighted of us :)
ok. i'll be watching out for you. don't disappoint me :)
