Researchers Yearn to Use AOL Logs, but They Hesitate - New York Times

  • The release of the AOL query logs coincided with a global conference in Seattle of information retrieval researchers, and it prompted heated discussions among those in attendance.


    Among them was Jamie Callan, an associate professor in the school of computer science at Carnegie Mellon and chairman of the Association for Computing Machinery’s special-interest group on information retrieval, which organized the conference.


    Professor Callan said that although no one disagreed on the importance of protecting privacy, “there’s also a strong belief that it is very important for the scientific community to have access to data of this kind in some anonymized form.”

The Ph.D Experience

  • It will install a sense of taste and a critical sense. It should make you
    unwilling to accept the common standards and norms, and to put them to the test
    of your own intellect and opinions. You should naturally find yourself
    questioning things. You should be willing to contradict conventional widsom.
    That doesn't mean being a rebel just for the sake of it; you are too mature for
    that. It just means being constructively critical.
  • The way a student and advisor work together differs of course from student
    to student. But here is the kind of path I try to show students.
    Not all students follow this kind of path. It is just a rough guideline.

    Phases



    In the first phase I will typically try to give you a well-defined project that
    could lead, if successfully completed, to a reasonable quality publication.
    This starting project should have clear questions, goals, and deliverables,
    meaning a student should be clear on what is the target and what needs to be
    done to get there. We would typically work together on properly formulating the
    questions, solving them, writing up a solution, submitting it to an appropriate
    conference, and, if it is accepted, preparing a presentation, so that the
    student gets a view of the whole process.


    In the second phase I could continue to suggest projects, ranging from
    well-defined to fuzzy, but you are more on your own with respect to
    solving the problems and writing up the solutions.


    By then you should be well enough advanced that you can find your own questions
    as well as the answers. That's the third phase.

    Meetings



    I expect to meet with you at least once a week during regular quarters and
    probably more often if you work here in the summer. You are also free to
    drop by at non-scheduled times, or send e-mail.


    Working together is fun. I enjoy it and hope you will too. So if you want
    to discuss a problem don't feel shy to stop by. A good deal of research
    is spontaneous and social, arising from interactions with your peers or
    advisor.

    You may not have something substantial to report at a meeting. That's OK,
    as long as it's not a habit. See the section on time allocation below.

Technology Review: The Future of Search

  • One of the things we're looking at is finding ways to get the user more involved, to have them tell us more of what they want. People type the query "map," and then they get upset if it's not the map they were thinking of. So, people may be willing to talk more than type. Or maybe they're willing to take a suggestion if we offer something that they didn't type a query for, but is related.

John Battelle's Searchblog: The Database of Intentions

  • The aggregate results of every search ever entered, every result list ever tendered, and every path taken as a result. It lives in many places, but three or four places in particular hold a massive amount of this data (ie MSN, Google, and Yahoo). This information represents, in aggregate form, a place holder for the intentions of humankind - a massive database of desires, needs, wants, and likes that can be discovered, supoenaed, archived, tracked, and exploited to all sorts of ends. Such a beast has never before existed in the history of culture, but is almost guaranteed to grow exponentially from this day forward. This artifact can tell us extraordinary things about who we are and what we want as a culture. And it has the potential to be abused in equally extraordinary fashion.
