Title:
Big Data Search and Analysis

Abstract:
Web search, data mining and the big data analysis have been important research areas according to the development of Web, social media, IoT technologies. In Web search, "search intent" discovery or machine-learning-based ranking are the hot research topics. In big data analysis, new effective and reliable data mining methods are needed. In this talk, I introduce our research works on search-intent discovery, search methods corresponding to each search intent, and data analysis focusing on the "diversity".
