Artificial Intelligence and Web Search: Opportunities for Symbiosis

講演者: Mehran Sahami (Google)

概要:
Web search is one of the most important applications used on the Internet, but it also poses many interesting challenges. Moreover, the number of other applications available on the web involving information retrieval, such as social networks, continues to grow at a rapid pace. In order to better help people find relevant information in a growing sea of data, it is critical to build large, scalable intelligent systems that can sift, analyze, organize, and present relevant information to users. Not only can AI techniques be used to benefit such web applications, but there are also many benefits to be gained by applications that harness the vast amount fo data available via the web. In this talk, we provide a brief background on information retrieval, and then look at some of the challenges faced in find relevant information on the Web. We will examine how some of these challenges are addressed at Google to improve users' access to information. Specifically, we will focus on how AI technologies have been employed in a variety of applications, including web search, image classification, record linkage, and recommendation in social networks, and also highlight how the vast amount of data available on the web can be leveraged in approving such applications. Finally, we will also discuss Google's goal of continually improving information acess through the deployment of a variety of applications focused on information analysis, understanding, and retrieval.
