Does Pagerank work for semantic search engines?

2013-12-29T15:08:00.000+05:30

Pagerank algorithm analyses links between web pages and produces better result when querying. But applying similar algorithms (Pagerank) for ontologies in the hope of identifying the most popular ontologies may not help. Because, the majority of ontologies available on the Web are not connected well (but web pages are linked highly, hence the better result for “string match” based search engines

Actionable search – Yandex has innovated interactive search platform

2013-06-06T15:09:00.002+05:30

For a long time Google the dominated search engine, did not do much innovation in search space. Now Yandex introduced “task completion engine” for users who want to complete the goal at hand. What they call this new feature is “Island”. Facebook’s “like” is a good example that we are moving towards “action web”. Yandex may not be able to scale to all the web sites.

Bad people can get “ghost power”

If I consider Internet as a brain. Then all positive/social thoughts are shared publicly (ex: status updates), most of the vulnerable thoughts are shared privately (Ex: chat), extremely bad/vulnerable thoughts are communicated in secure networks. Innocent governments (ex: India) monitoring the positive network/web (ex: Facebook/Google), no care taken on the private/secure networks. Internet

India has more youngsters than any other country, a county’s fall or growth is not simply decided by total output per hour by citizens in the modern world. IMO, It is decided by three main factors, first one is the rate at which the innovation happens. The second would be the productivity based on the innovation. The innovation is done by few experts, the productivity is done by the rest. Third,

Overall performance of computers (PC or Server) depends on many factors, people usually move to a faster processor. Comparatively memory/storage has become bigger bottleneck in recent years, due to the volume of data we store. The below table describes about the latency of each memory/storage technology.

Semantic annotation and ontology population

2012-10-25T11:45:00.001+05:30

More than 95% of human-computer information input will be made up of natural, textual language (gartner). This is not going to change any time soon. Hence the world need to convert un/semi structured docs to structured format (RDF) to search, browse, analyse, etc much importantly machine processable content. The first step in the conversion is Semantic annotation. There are two things which are

Bag of words- A special knowledge

2012-10-22T22:35:00.001+05:30

Whenever there is an information need or want to complete a task (a research, finding a coupon, etc), we are using search engines. The activity that the user performs with search engine is called “Web search”. Queries are used as a means of communication between human user and a search engine. Web search introduces a new form of knowledge called “bag of words” knowledge. What is “bag of words”?

However, since each Web of Data sources have its own schema which does not follow strict rules as in a database. The schema changes over time when the underlying data changes. For example: new records can require new attributes. I therefore consider the

Information Extraction from Web Search perspective

In my opinion the killer application of IE is to develop search applications. Classic Web search is all about string matching and page ranking, the modern search is all about finding user intention (from bag of key words to entities/concept queries) to ranking entities/objects. Information Extraction(IE) refers to the extracting of structured Information (typically by means of automatic) such
