Abstract:

Portal web search engines must support a wide variety of user queries. 
Those queries which deal with late-breaking news or emerging topics are 
amongst the most difficult classes of queries for a search engine to 
support.  In this presentation, I will be describing the detection of 
queries on emerging topics and how a search engine can best support 
them.  Topics will include automatic query classification, news vertical 
federation, web resource discovery, and ranking.

Bio:

Fernando Diaz is a research scientist at Yahoo! Labs New York. His 
primary research interest is formal information retrieval models. 
Fernando's research experience includes distributed information 
retrieval approaches to web search, interactive and faceted retrieval, 
mining of temporal patterns from news and query logs, cross-lingual 
information retrieval, graph-based retrieval methods, and synthesizing 
information from multiple corpora. Fernando received his PhD from the 
University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2008.  His work on federation won 
the best paper awards at the SIGIR 2009, WSDM 2009, and ECIR 2011 
conferences.
