Microsoft's Microproductivity Research Team (Focus and interest)

The Microsoft Research Team is exploring microproductivity in the context of writing. They chose writing as a model productivity task because it requires fundamental, but varied, skills such as reading, analysis, reasoning, and communication. As such, writing tools provide a valuable lens through which to understand and explore a range of problems related to information work. Writing is also a “fun” domain to study because the task is not obviously decomposable.
To understand how to successfully transform the creation of written text into lightweight microtasks, they have brought together experts in the domains of attention management, crowdsourcing, natural language processing, machine learning, personal information management, computer-supported cooperative work, and artificial intelligence.
