University of Washington presentation by Jeff Dean from Google. http://www.uwtv.org/programs/displayevent.asp?rid=2459 Very interesting, lots of interesting detail worth watching all the way through. Snip from Uni of Washington: Google: A Behind-the-Scenes Look Search is one of the most important applications used on the internet and poses some of the most interesting challenges in computer science. Providing high-quality search requires understanding across a wide range of computer science disciplines. In this program, Jeff Dean of Google describes some of these challenges, discusses applications Google has developed, and highlights systems they've built, including GFS, a large-scale distributed file system, and MapReduce, a library for automatic parallelization and distribution of large-scale computation. He also shares some interesting observations derived from Google's web data. Enjoy..... [Discuss]
Some interesting information in the lecture, most notably the information about clustering to determine correlations between words. I think this clustering technology will come into force a lot more so I believe it pays to widen the vocabulary / ontology on your web pages. It will help build a stronger theme into the web page. Great link Dominic
I tried viewing the movie but could get a good enough connection. I thing clustering also relates to Latent Semantic Indexing I keep reading more and more about http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/seo-news/topic-386.htm
