Dr. Raghavan (Head of Yahoo! Research) will be giving a CS Colloq.
on Dec 1 (Mon).

Title: New Sciences for a New Web

Date: Dec 1 (Mon)
Time: 4pm

Reception at 3:30 in CSIC lobby, talk in 1115. 


The web experience has changed from a human interacting with a browser, to the emergence of 
a plethora of social media experiences. One consequence is that we need research advances that
straddle the boundaries between computational and social sciences, the latter including 
microeconomics, cognitive psychology and sociology. It also raises difficult questions on the 
use of data - ranging from the algorithmic to the societal.

This lecture will attempt to chart this interdisciplinary research agenda, arguing that the 
most influential research will require heavy interaction between these "hard" and "soft" 
sciences.
