Microsoft’s AI research team has collaborated with researchers from the University of Washington to develop a novel smart to-do feature that automatically generates to-do lists from emails.
Based on initial experiments, the researchers say their model performs at par with human performance while writing To-do lists, which sounds really promising. The researchers will present the paper at the annual conference of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2020), which will be held online from July 5 to 10 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Let’s wait and see if our email clients will be able to offer an important feature, like automatic to-do list creation, in the coming years.
