Abstract

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our main tool for doing this is search, which we have taken to a very high level of sophistication, while keeping it simple to use. In this talk I will describe some of the non obvious things we do, the challenges we face, and the huge opportunities we have to help people.

Speaker: Udi Manber is a VP of Engineering at Google, responsible for core search. In a previous life he was a professor of Computer Science at the UA.
