Spotlight on Beyond Search: Semantic Computing
and Internet Economics 2009 Workshop
Microsoft External Research, in collaboration with adCenter, gathered the winners of the Request for Proposal (RFP) “Beyond Search – Semantic Computing and Internet Economics.” The RFP directly addresses the need for more large-scale data by making additional real-world search data available to academia, under a limited data license agreement. In addition, it encourages further academic research and innovation in search and ads by increasing the availability of relevant, large, current data sets from Live Search and adCenter; new data analysis; and algorithm development in Internet search.
