Advertisers Hyper-Target Facebook Users Via Profile Info The Association for Computing Machinery - Hewlett Packard The Facebook Era is a newly released book about how social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are ushering in a new era of business, relationships, and culture. Additionally, it discusses what companies need to do strategically and tactically to adapt and thrive in this new environment.The last decade was about the World Wide Web of information and the power of linking content pages. Today, it's about the World Wide Web of people and the power of the social graph. We are undergoing a radical transformation as traditional one-sided CRM gives way to bi-directional visibility and access, and an unprecedented degree of trusted online identity and access to people are forever changing human relationships and business transactions.Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are changing everything we thought we knew about sales, marketing, and product development -- and empowering companies with new tools, insights, and ability to transform customers into true partners and your most effective sales force yet.

Coming from Google: Privately-Owned Fiber to the Home? The Association for Computing Machinery - Association for Computing Machinery Google Policy Analyst Derek Slater discusses the state of broadband policy in the U.S and the importance of sustaining the Internet as an open platform for consumer choice and end-user innovation.Slater provides an overview of possible legislation to ensure robust access to the open Internet. He also presents two novel ideas that could help transform broadband policy in fundamental ways: customer ownership of last mile fiber, and Measurement Lab, a new research platform for broadband testing tools.

Moises Goldszmidt Explains What May Be Wrong with E-Mail The Association for Computing Machinery - Association for Computing Machinery Automated Dependency Discovery of Hosts and Network Services in Distributed SystemsIn a modern enterprise network of scale, dependencies between hosts and network services are surprisingly complex, typically undocumented, and rarely static.The automated discovery of these dependencies is a current challenge for network management and troubleshooting.In this talk I will present a method for addressing this challenge. The method is based on learning the parameters of a generative probabilistic model using little more than timings of packet transmission and reception, and then performing statistical hypothesis testing on the components of the model.I will also show results from applying this approach to real data from a trace collecting network events at Microsoft Research Cambridge.Joint work with Alex Simma, John MacCormick, Paul Barham, Richard Black, Rebecca Isaacs and Richard Mortier - ACM Bay Area Chapter

Juergen Schmerder on the Blue Ruby Mission Statement The Association for Computing Machinery - Association for Computing Machinery Dynamic languages like Ruby are getting more and more attention and have proven that they allow to build programs faster and more effectively in an agile environment than traditional strong-typed languages. Ruby has a great potential to become a next-generation application programming language. At least there is a wide-spread opinion, that whatever will be the next-generation language, it will be very close to what Ruby is today - Association for Computing Machinery

Bill Schilit Democratizes Knowledge with Google The Association for Computing Machinery - Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Scanning books, magazines, and newspapers has become an widespread activity because people believe that much of the worlds information still resides off-line. In general after these works are scanned they are indexed for search and processed to add links.In this talk we will describes a new approach to automatically add links by mining repeated passages. Our technique connects elements that are semantically rich, so strong relations are made. Moreover, link targets point within a work rather than to the entire work, facilitating navigation.Our system has been run on a digital library of over 1 million books, has been used by thousands of people, and has generated the worlds largest collection of quotations. We will also present a follow-on project based on the theory that authors copy passages from book to book because these quotations capture an idea particularly well: Jefferson on liberty; Stanton on womens rights; and Gibson on cyberpunk.Our Key Ideas prototype provides an interaction model where readers fluidly explore the library by viewing popular quotations on a particular key term, and follow links to quotations on related key terms - Association for Computing Machinery

Mayur Datar Explains the Basics of Google News The Association for Computing Machinery - Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Several approaches to collaborative filtering have been studied, but seldom have studies been reported for large (several million users and items) and dynamic (the underlying item set is continually changing) settings.Research scientist Mayur Datar describes our approach to collaborative filtering for generating personalized recommendations for users of Google News.We generate recommendations using three approaches: collaborative filtering using MinHash clustering, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI), and covisitation counts. We combine recommendations from different algorithms using a linear model.Our approach is content-agnostic and consequently domain-independent, making it easily adaptable for other applications and languages with minimal effort. Datar describes our algorithms and system setup in detail and reports results of running the recommendations engine on Google News - Association for Computing Machinery
