INFOENG SEMINAR SERIES Colloquium series
About Google, search engines and graph similarity
Prof. Paul Van Dooren (Dept. Mathematical Engineering, Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium)
DATE: 2005-11-18
TIME: 11:00:00 - 12:00:00
LOCATION: RSISE Seminar Room, ground floor, building 115, cnr. North and Daley Roads, ANU
ABSTRACT:
In this talk we present a number of techniques used for searching large
databases such as the web. We briefly recall the methods of Page-Brin
(PageRank) and of Kleinberg (Hits) and then show how these can be
extended to the notion of similarity between two directed graphs.
We then apply this to search for synonyms in a dictionary.
Paul is currently visiting SEACS/NICTA
BIO:
Paul M. Van Dooren received the engineering degree in computer science and the doctoral degree in applied sciences, both from the Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven, Belgium, in 1974 and 1979, respectively. He held research and teaching positions at the Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven (1974-1979), the University of Southern California (1978-1979), Stanford University (1979-1980), the Australian National University (1984), Philips Research Laboratory Belgium (1980-1991), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1991-1994), Florida State University (1998) and the Universite Catholique de Louvain (1980-1991, 1994-now) where he is currently a professor of Mathematical Engineering.
Dr. Van Dooren received the Householder Award in 1981 and the Wilkinson Prize of Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing in 1989. He is an Associate Editor of several journals in numerical analysis and systems and control theory. His main interests lie in the areas of numerical linear algebra, systems and control theory, digital signal processing, and parallel algorithms. He has published over 90 journal papers and 100 refereed conference papers.
