Abstract

The self-organizing file cabinet is an information retrieval system associated with a user's physical file cabinet. It enhances a physical file cabinet with electronic information about the papers in it. It can remember, organize, update, and help the user find documents contained in the physical file cabinet. The system consists of a module for extracting electronic information about the papers stored in the file cabinet, a module for representing and storing this information in multiple views, and a module that allows a user to interact with this information. The focus of this paper is on the design and evaluation of the self-organized file cabinet.
