***Dr. Hugo Zaragoza, Yahoo! Research, Barcelona***
Title:
"Exploiting linguistic annotations in Search."
Abstract:
Automatic linguistic annotations of text can be used today in a number
of ways: to create richer interfaces to the information locked in
document collections, to help the user express its information need,
and to improve the relevance of the results obtained by the search
engine. I will give an overview of our work in these three areas, and
will highlight the main challenges we encounter and how we are trying
to address them. I will also show several demos exploiting linguistic
annotations for search on Wikipedia (Correlator,
http://correlator.sandbox.yahoo.net/), Yahoo! Answers and financial
news.
Looking forward to seeing you in Barcelona
