Web Search: ITConversations Chats with Ask.com's Apostolos Gerasoulis, Vice President for Search Technologies, Ask.com
Apostolos (aka "AG"), the person you've also seen in the Ask.com tv spots, chats with Dr. Moira Gunn about Ask.com technology. Dr. Gerasoulis is also the creator of Teoma technology that powers Ask.com. The program runs 26 minutes.

Noted web search expert Mike Grehan chats with two Ask.com execs, Jim Lanzone & Apostolos Gerasoulis.

Chris Sherman takes a look at what makes Teoma technology different.

+ A Longer Look by Mike Grehan into the Teoma Algorithm (16 pages; PDF)
Teoma section begins on page 14.

+ For the Techies #1 (1999)
Many of the concepts that underly Teoma come from IBM's Clever team. This search product was never publicly released. This paper explains, and is one of my all-time favorite papers about, web search.

+ For the Techies #2: DiscoWeb: Applying Link Analysis to Web Search (1999)
This is the first published paper on what would become Teoma. One of its co-authors, Apostolos Gerasoulis, is now the Vice President of Research and Development at Ask.com. Btw, DiscoWeb stands for Discovery Web (not a dancing search engine).

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
