Can you shed a bit of more light on Yahoo!'s research in the area of embedding documents in the diffusion space? Specifically, what would be the drawbacks when applied to a structural directory as opposed to a search engine or to a sphere (blogosphere or newsphere). Edel Garcia Andrei, we missed you at IPAM’s Document Space workshop.

The comment from "Gratis Kontaktanzeige" above is one example. I am not really interested in what you would prefer to do with these sites once identified, I am more concerned about the "how to" part.

The Blogosphere is probably growing faster than any other plae in the internet so it makes sense for yahoo to beef their search there.

Your taxonomy of search paper certainly helped to classify the nature of search at that time. Reflecting on your thoughts then, compared to search query streams in 2006, what changes, if any, could you describe? And possibly connected… This is a general observation. Early search engines based their ranking methods around the vector space model which was very open to manipulation (text spam). Kleinberg and Page/Brin incorporated link analysis into the ranking mechanism, which made for more relevant results, but still left ranking open to types of manipulation (link spam). Now we hear a lot more about end user behavior data also being folded in. Can you give an indication of the type of end user data which can be used and may have an impact on the ranking mechanism?

Thanks for the chance to ask a question or two. Yahoo was granted a patent earlier this week on categorization, training pages, and similarity. It sounds pretty exciting, and I'm sure that more interesting things will be coming from Yahoo! in the months to come. Anything new that you can share with us in terms of web search, that we might see shaking things up any? Hi Dr. Broder.
