Web Search Engine:Web Crawling, Indexing, Query Processing...

Web Crawler is a software that automatically discovers Web pages and downloads those into a local repository

Given resources are limited, it is not possible to download all pages

Web Crawl Scheduling:What pages should be downloaded first?When a page should be updated?

MSc candidate at Federal University of Minas Gerais

I am currently involved with the generation of useful movie recommendations for users. In my research, I investigate a bayesian probabilistical framework that takes into account:

l The fact that, in a recommended movie list, the utility of movies interfere with one another;l the fact that a recommended movie list should maximize the probability of having at least one item that is actually selected by an user;l the fact that the recommended movie list should cover, as much as possible, all different hues present in a particular user tastes.

I am currently mining ratings patterns at the MovieLens datasets (http://www.grouplens.org/node/73).

Title: Granular Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition and Granular Mining

Classification and clustering of real life data sets, including microarray gene expression data, based on the proposed granular neural networks. A new fuzzy rough entropy measure for validating

the clustering solutions is proposed by comparing the existing measures, Beta –index and DB-index.

Future Work: - Proposing a new granular neural network for selecting salient features of real-life data sets.

ProblemWide variety of information systems aimed at cataloging phenotypic descriptions of living beings, which adopt heterogeneous models, hampering data integration.

GoalTo Integrate phenotype-related heterogeneous models via alignment of their metamodels.

Contributions• Semi-automatic approach to connect free text phenotypic descriptions to equivalent ontology-based descriptions;

• Automated integration of the large volume of existing phenotypic descriptions.
