Evolving Web, Evolving Search
This event took place on Tuesday 04 March 2008 at 11:30

 
Prof. Yong Yu Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Web is evolving from time to time, more and more intelligent search engines are also emerging over time. the Traditional Web is composed of many unstructured Web pages. These pages are linked together and mainly for human reading. We focus on how to crawl more pages, improve search relevance or make search interactions simpler. Accordingly, we build the general search engines, the vertical search engines and the meta search engines. The emergence of Web 2.0 lowers the barrier for contribution. More people are involved and make the Web social. We focus on how to elaborate user involved data. Accordingly, we develop blog search, wiki search and tag enhanced search. The Semantic Web is composed of structured interlinked data. These data includes schema, axiom definitions and related assertions. It is mainly for machine understanding. We focus on how to learn or populate ontologies from the traditional Web, do search on the combination of Web ontology and Web pages, integrate reasoning with search to the Web scale or do semantic search using keyword queries.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
