Posted by Jeff Walz and Kevin McCurleyThe world's research and educational infrastructures are tightly intertwined. Research universities enable students to participate in research activities, and research contributes to the vitality of the educational experience. At Google, we also recognize the importance of education to our research and engineering activities. In addition to our own in-house activities, we maintain strong ties to academic institutions through visiting faculty programs and summer internships. In recognition of the importance...

OpenHTMM Released
Posted on 14:01 by Unknown
Posted by Ashok C. Popat, Research ScientistStatistical methods of text analysis have become increasingly sophisticated over the years. A good example is automated topic analysis using latent models, two variants of which are Probabilistic latent semantic analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation.Earlier this year, Amit Gruber, a Ph.D. student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, presented a technique for analyzing the topical content of text at the Eleventh International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics in Puerto Rico.Gruber's...

The Sky is Open
Posted on 16:16 by Unknown
Posted by Jeremy BrewerWe've gotten an incredible amount of positive feedback about Sky in Google Earth, which lets Google Earth users explore the sky above them with hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies taken from astronomy imagery.From the start though, we have wanted to open the sky up to everyone. As a first step, we've been hard at work developing tools to let astronomers add their own imagery, and we think we've come up with something that does the job nicely. We're pleased to announce the availability of wcs2kml, an open source project...

Introducing Sky in Google Earth
Posted on 19:46 by Unknown
Posted by Andy Connolly and Ryan ScrantonAt Google we are always interested in creating new ways to share ideas and information and applying these techniques to different research fields. Astronomy provides a great opportunity with an abundance of images and information that are accessible to researchers and indeed, anyone with an interest in the stars. With the release of the Google Earth 4.2 client the new Sky feature acts as a virtual telescope that provides a view of some of the most detailed images ever taken of the night sky. By clicking...

Drink from the firehose with University Research Programs
Posted on 11:27 by Unknown
Posted by Michael Lancaster and Josh Estelle, Software EngineersWhenever we talk to university researchers, we hear a consistent message: they wish they had Google infrastructure. In pursuit of our company mission, we have built an elaborate set of systems for collecting, organizing, and analyzing information about the web. Operating and maintaining such an infrastructure is a high barrier to entry for many researchers. We recognize this and want to share some of the fruits of our labor with the research community. Today, in conjunction with the...

New Conference on Web Search and Data Mining
Posted on 15:10 by Unknown
Posted by Ziv Bar-Yossef and Kevin McCurley, Research TeamThe pace of innovation on the World Wide Web continues unabated more than fifteen years after the first servers went live. The web was initially used by only a small community of scientists, but there are now over a billion people on the planet who use the web in their lives. The World Wide Web grows and changes as a young organism might, reflecting the social forces of the users and information producers. Each year seems to bring a radical new change, including the movement of commerce...
Videos of talks
Posted on 14:38 by Unknown
Posted by Kevin McCurley, Research TeamWe've recently launched a Google Research web site that we'll be updating to provide information about research activities at Google. Among other things, one thing you'll find there is the ability to search and view videos of talks at Google.One of the best features of working at Google is the rich variety of talks that we can attend, both technical and general interest. Most of these are videotaped for later viewing. This has multiple benefits:In case of a scheduling conflict, Google employees may view...

Seattle conference on scalability
Posted on 11:15 by Unknown
Posted by Amanda Camp, Software EngineerWe care a lot about scalability at Google. An algorithm that works only on a small scale doesn't cut it when we are talking global access, millions of people, millions of search queries. We think big and love to talk about big ideas, so we're planning our first ever conference on scalable systems. It will take place on June 23 at our Seattle office. Our goal: to create a collegial atmosphere for participants to brainstorm different ways to build the robust systems that can handle, literally, a world of information....

Hear, here. A Sample of Audio Processing at Google.
Posted on 09:54 by Unknown
Posted by Shumeet Baluja, Michele Covell, Pedro Moreno & Eugene WeinsteinText isn't the only source of information on the web! We've been working on a variety of projects related to audio and visual recognition. One of the fundamental constraints that we have in designing systems at Google is the huge amounts of data that we need to process rapdily. A few of the research papers that have come out of this work are shown here. In the first pair of papers, to be presented at the 2007 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal...
