Workflows

Hey all,

I'm starting this thread to brainstorm ways that we can improve the
results from models.  For example, I have never met someone who answers
100% of their email, and models shouldn't either.  Models should be able
to say "I don't know" when they don't have enough information to make a
coherent response and should be able to ask for more information when
they need it.

Further, it should be easy to specify workflows that pipe the output of
one model into another for ranking.  We could then say things like,
"Iterate for one hour and give me the top three results," or, "Iterate
until some metric converges."

Given the throughput-oriented nature of email it makes sense to be able
to put a large number of operations in a pipeline and have them run in
the background.

I'm going to start working on this, but I wanted to get some feedback.

Happy Hacking,
Robert
