talk: Exploring the Web, Beyond Document Search

 

Exploring the Web, Beyond Document Search

Professor Yi Chen
Computer Science, Arizona State University

1:00pm Friday 24 February 2012, ITE 325b, UMBC

Today we rely on Web Search Engines, like Google or Bing, to find relevant documents among trillions or quadrillions of documents on the Web. The Web also contains a vast amount of structured data in a variety of domains, such as travel, products, bibliographies, finance, and social networks. Current Web search engines and web database query interfaces are insufficient to satisfy the diverse search needs of web users. The information discovery processes are further complicated by the prevalence of uncertain data. At the same time, it is infeasible to request a web user to design clean databases and write precise SQL queries. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and then some of the solutions that we have developed for empowering web users for effective information search on structured data. Furthermore, I will discuss how to enable successful social search so that complex computation tasks can be accomplished by leveraging social computing.

Yi Chen is an Associate Professor in Computer Science and an affiliate faculty in Biomedical Informatics at Arizona State University (ASU). She received her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and her B.S. from Central South University in 2005 and 1999, respectively. Her research interests include keyword search on structured data, learning uncertain data, workflow management and social computing, with applications in Web, social computing and healthcare. She is a general chair for SIGMOD'2012, a PC chair for KEYS’2009 and DBRank’2012. Yi Chen is a recipient of Outstanding Researcher Award in ASU CSE (2011), a Google Research Award (2011), IBM Faculty Award (2010) and an NSF CAREER Award (2009).

Where did you go to high school?
I went to Paint Branch High School.

When did you go to CSI?
I went to CSI summer 2010.

Why did you decide to go to CSI?
I went to CSI because I wanted a head start to college by earning extra credits and I also wanted to learn about the campus. I got a chance to meet faculty and familiarize myself with resources on campus.

Did you know anyone else in CSI when you started?
My friend from high school also did CSI with me.

What courses did you take during CSI?
The most interesting thing at CSI was the low ropes course; it was a wonderful ice breaker as well as team bonding experience.

What was the most interesting thing that happened?
Once the school year started, I had one-on-one sessions with the program coordinator and was able to get advice about professional development, resume and job support. We also had lunch reunions with our group.

How did your CSI experience continue once the school year started?
CSI prepared me largely for a college mentality; it prepared me not just for the rigor of UMBC but the challenges of an academic.

What is your major?
I am an Information Systems major.

Would you recommend CSI to other new UMBC students?
I would absolutely recommend CSI for any incoming freshman, it is an opportunity that is well worth ones while.

The GSA is seeking senior-level undergraduates and post-baccalaureate students with an interest in biomedical research or public health. Undergraduate Outreach Day will be held on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 in the West Basic Sciences Building. The newest addition to Meharry’s Research Week, UGO is an opportunity for prospective students to network with Meharry graduate students and faculty, and learn not only about our current research focuses, but also about the graduate student experience at Meharry. Undergraduate Outreach Day is designed to encourage students, especially underrepresented minorities and women, to pursue careers in health-based research careers. During UGO, students will have the opportunity to attend workshops about the different programs and career tracks in basic research and health services administration in the public and private sector; experience a graduate level lecture; receive a tour of Meharry; apply to either of Meharry’s programs (if eligible and they have the necessary paperwork); and speak one-on-one with current Meharry students and faculty.

Established in 1876, Meharry Medical College is the nation’s largest private, independent, historically black academic health center dedicated solely to educating minority and other health professionals. Meharry offers a Master’s of Science in Public Health and a Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences in addition to the Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees.
