Department of Computer Science Dr. Prabhakar Raghavan Head of Yahoo Research Talk - Monday, December 1, 2008 Time - 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Where - CSIC Building - Room 1115 Reception will be held before the talk at 3:30 p.m. - CSIC Lobby Title: New sciences for a new web Abstract: 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. Bio: Prabhakar Raghavan has been the head of Yahoo! Research since 2005. His research interests include text and web mining, and algorithm design. With his considerable expertise in search technologies Prabhakar leads Yahoo!'s Search Strategy. He is a consulting professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and editor-in-chief of the Journal of the ACM. He has co-authored two textbooks, on randomized algorithms and on search. Raghavan received his PhD from Berkeley and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the ACM and of the IEEE. Prior to joining Yahoo!, he was the chief technology officer at Verity and has held a number of technical and managerial positions at IBM Research.
