What is Beyond Google?
for Advanced Information Requests by „Power Users“
(librarians, market analysts, scientists, students, etc.)
background knowledge
→ ontologies & thesauri, statistics, continuous learning
(semi-)structured and „semantic“ data
→ XML, info extraction, annotation & classification
humans in the loop, wisdom of crowds
→ collaboration, recommendation, social networks, P2P
context awareness
→ personalization, geo & time, user behavior, reality mining

A Broader View of Search Engine
Technology (Information Retrieval)
• Intranet and Enterprise Search
• Scholarly Work on Digital Libraries, Web Archives, etc.
• „Vertical“ Search: Products, Entertainment, Health, etc.
• Desktop Search / Personal Information Management
• Deep Web Search / Information Integration
• Continuous Queries (PubSub) on News, Blogs, etc.
• Personalized and „Social“ Search
• Multimedia Search (Images, Video, Speech, Music, etc.)
• Multilingual and Multicultural Search
• Embedded (Mobile) and Integrated (DB&IR) Applications

Ontologies & Thesauri: Example WordNet
IR&NLP Approach
e.g. WordNet Thesaurus (Princeton)
(> 100 000 concepts
with lexical & linguistic relations)
woman, adult female – (an adult female person)
=> amazon, virago – (a large strong and aggressive woman)
=> donna -- (an Italian woman of rank)
=> geisha, geisha girl -- (...)
=> lady (a polite name for any woman)
...
=> wife – (a married woman, a man‘s partner in marriage)
=> witch – (a being, usually female, imagined to
have special powers derived from the devil)

„Semantic“ Query Expansion and Execution
Thesaurus/Ontology:
User query: ~c = ~t1 ... ~tm
concepts, relationships, glosses
from WordNet, Gazetteers,
Web forms & tables, Wikipedia
Example:
~professor and ( ~course = „~IR“ )
Term2Concept with WSD
Query expansion
exp(ti)={w | sim(ti,w)≥ θ}
alchemist
primadonna
magician
artist director
wizard
investigator
intellectual
Weighted expanded query
Example:
(professor lecturer (0.749) scholar (0.71) ...)
and ( (course class (1.0) seminar (0.84) ... )
= („IR“ „Web search“ (0.653) ... ) )
Efficient top-k search

Personalized Search & Info Management
Personalized Result Ranking:
or
• query interpretation depends on
personal interests and bias
• need to learn user-specific weights for
multi-criteria ranking (relevance, authority, freshness, etc.)
• can exploit user behavior
(feedback, bookmarks, query logs, click streams, etc.)
Personal Information Management (PIM):
• manage, annotate, organize, and search all your personal data
• on desktop (mail, files, calendar, etc.)
• at home (photos, videos, music, parties, invoices, tax filing, etc.)
and in smart home with ambient intelligence

Google‘s PageRank [Brin & Page 1998]
Idea: incoming links are endorsements & increase page authority,
authority is higher if links come from high-authority pages
PR( q ) = ε ⋅ j( q ) + ( 1 − ε ) ⋅ ∑
PR( p ) ⋅ t( p,q )
p∈IN ( q )
with
t ( p, q ) = 1 / outdegree( p)
and j ( q ) = 1 / N
Authority (page q) =
stationary prob. of visiting q
random walk: uniformly random choice of links + random jumps

Personalized PageRank [Haveliwala et al. 2003]

such as personal bookmarks, frequently visited pages, etc.

Results (assessment by blind-test users):

Social Search: Vision & Trends
„Enable people to find, use, share, and expand
all human knowledge“ (Yahoo!: knowledge fusion)
Collect & harvest the wisdom of crowds:
• bookmarks of users, with content tags
• query logs, click streams, news readings, etc.
all
• interactions in communities (blogs, e-groups, etc.)
managed
• opinions on products, movies, music, pharmaceuticals,
etc.
by one
• photos, annotations, ratings, etc.
„super provider“
(Yahoo!, MSN, or Google)
Affects search result ranking:
→ decentralized & self-organizing
prefer results liked by similar users
peer-to-peer (P2P) networks !

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Web Search
Vision: Self-organizing P2P Web Search Engine
with Google-or-better functionality
• Scalable & Self-Organizing Data Structures and Algorithms
(DHTs, Semantic Overlay Networks, Epidemic Spreading, Distr. Link Analysis, etc.)
• Better Search Result Quality (Precision, Recall, etc.)
• Powerful Search Methods for Each Peer
(Concept-based Search, Query Expansion, Personalization, etc.)
• Leverage Intellectual Input at Each Peer
(Bookmarks, Feedback, Query Logs, Click Streams, Evolving Web, etc.)
• Collaboration among Peers
(Query Routing, Incentives, Fairness, Anonymity, etc.)
• Benefits of Large-Scale Social Networks:
Small-World Phenomenon, Breaking Information Monopolies
Foundations pursued in EU

SEO Challenge:

• Trust/Distrust

extremely „successful“
• Pessimists estimate 75 Mio. out of 150 Mio. Web hosts are spam
• Recent example: Ληstές

Web Spam Generation
Content spam:
• repeat words (boost tf scores)
• weave words/phrases into copied text
• manipulate anchor texts
Link spam:
• copy links from Web dir. and distort
Example:
Remember not only online learning
to say the right doctoral degree thing
in the right place, but far cheap
tuition more difficult still, to leave
career unsaid the wrong thing
at university the tempting moment.
• create honeypot page and sneak in links
• infiltrate Web directory
• purchase expired domains
• generate posts to Blogs, message boards, etc.
• build & run spam farm (collusion) + form alliances
Hide/cloak the manipulation:
• masquerade href anchors
Example:
read about my <a
href=„myonlinecasino.com“>
trip to Las Vegas </a>.
• use tiny anchor images with background color
• generate different dynamic pages to browsers and crawlers

Countermeasures: BadRank and TrustRank
BadRank:
start with explicit set B of blacklisted pages
define random-jump vector r by setting ri=1/|B| if i∈B and 0 else
propagate BadRank mass to predecessors
BR( p) = β rp + (1 − β )∑q∈OUT ( p ) BR(q) / indegree(q)
TrustRank:
start with explicit set T of trusted pages with trust values ti
define random-jump vector r by setting ri = ti / if i ∈T and 0 else
propagate TrustRank mass to successors
TR (q) = τ rq + (1 − τ )∑ p∈IN ( p ) TR ( p) / outdegree( p)
Problems:
maintenance of explicit lists is difficult
difficult to understand (& guarantee) effects

Learning Spam Features [Drost/Scheffer 2005]
Use classifier (e.g. Bayesian predictor, SVM) to predict
„spam vs. ham“ based on page and page-context features
Most discriminative features are:
•tfidf weights of words in p0 and IN(p0)
•avg, #inlinks of pages in IN(p0)
•avg. #words in title of pages in OUT(p0)
•#pages in IN(p0) that have same length as some other page in IN(p0)
•avg. # inlinks and outlinks of pages in IN(p0)
But spammers may
•avg. #outlinks of pages in IN(p0)
learn to adjust to the
•avg. #words in title of p0
•total #outlinks of pages in OUT(p0)
anti-spam measures.
•total #inlinks of pages in IN(p0)
It‘s an arms race!
•clustering coefficient of pages in IN(p0) (#linked pairs / m(m-1) possible pairs)
•total #words in titles of pages in OUT(p0)
•total #outlinks of pages in OUT(p0)
•avg. #characters of URLs in IN(p0)
•#pages in IN(p0) and OUT(p0) with same MD5 hash signature as p0
•#characters in domain name of p0
•#pages in IN(p0) with same IP number as p0

Outline
9 Motivation and Strategic Direction
9 Semantic Search (Ontologies, XML, Info Extraction)
9 Personalized Search (User-Behavior History)
9 Social Search (Communities, P2P)
• Conclusion

Strategic Research Avenues
Exploit the Web‘s potential for being a knowledge base
• Build large-scale & interesting „Semantic“ Web corpora
(Wikipedia++, all homepages of CS researchers, etc.)
• Enhance & interconnect Deep-Web databases
(digital libraries, scientific data, judicial expertise, etc.)
Semantic search: ontologies, richly structured &
annotated (XML) data, info extraction & enrichment
Personalized search: history of user behavior
(queries, clicks, etc.) and current context
Social search: wisdom of crowds (recommendations,
community behavior, etc.) embedded in P2P network
Data curation, quality control & trust
are crucial for effective information search:
authenticity, freshness, accuracy, authority, etc.
