Search is undergoing dramatic changes taking it away from a focus on keywords and websites, towards conversational search and app indexes. In this presentation Distilled discusses the ways search is fundamentally changing including compound queries, implicit search signals, user signals as a ranking factor, the move from keywords to intents, and the drive towards data driven search.
Talk at the 2nd Summer Workshop of the Center for Semantic Web Research (January 16, 2016, Santiago, Chile) about the construction of Yahoo's Knowledge Graph and associated research challenges.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

3. Information box with content from and links to Yahoo! Travel For Yahoo!, search is much more than 10 blue links Points of interest in Vienna, Austria Shopping results from Yahoo! Shopping Since Aug, 2010, ‘regular’ search results are ‘Powered by Bing’
4. Not just search: advertizing How could we get publishers to tell us: which pages are about a person or this particular person?
5. Creating an ecosystem of publishers, developers and end-users Publishers provide structured data embedded in HTML Yahoo crawls this data and makes it available to developers Developers help to transform data into rich results displays End users benefit from richer and more relevant search results Yahoo! SearchMonkey Page Extraction RDF/Microformat Markup Acme.com’s Web Pages Index DataRSS feed Web Services Acme.com’s database
6. Yahoo has been a first adopter of Semantic Web technology First search engine to support RDFa Promoting the use of standard ontologies Helping publishers to get on the Semantic Web Working with the community on developing and maintaining ontologies VoCamp series of events Working with the W3C Making the data available Yahoo! BOSS: API for developers Yahoo! Webscope datasets for research Yahoo! SearchMonkey
7. Facets and Enhanced Results in Yahoo! Search Restrict search results to pages with product data. Star rating, price, image (where available) displayed as part of the abstract.
8. Launched in May, 2008, over time rolled out in >20 markets >400% increase in RDFa data >15% increase in click-through rates for some sites User studies confirm that users prefer enhanced results >15,000 developers, >400 applications in the gallery Welcomed by both the traditional search press and the SW community A year later, implemented by Google as “Rich Snippets” No developer tool Google opts to create their own ontology Embedded metadata is now a part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) The success of SearchMonkey
9. Percentage of URLs with certain forms of embedded data RDFa data in over 3.5% of webpages
10. Future expected benefits Query formulation “Snap to grid” Showing related entities based on an initial query Guiding the user in constructing the query Making the user aware of the interpretation of the query Ranking Semantic search engines exist as prototypes Semantic Search workshop series and evaluations ESWC 2008, WWW 2009, WWW 2010 Result presentation Snippet generation Adaptive and interactive presentation Aggregated search Task completion
14. Today, we have a network where new user experiences are created on-demand Homepage Web search
15. Implicit search: Contextual Shortcuts in Yahoo! News Hovering over anunderlined phrase triggers a search for related news items.
16. Creating personalized experiences:Content Optimizing Knowledge Engine (COKE) Machine Learning based ‘search’ algorithm selects the main story and the three alternate stories based on the users demographics (age, gender etc.) and previous behavior. Results in 30-60% increase in CTR compared to editorial. Display advertizing is a similar top-1 search problem on the collection of advertisements. Users can opt-out of the behavioral targeting of ads through AdChoices.
17. Hyperlocal experiences at Yahoo! Hyperlocal: showing content from across Yahoo that is relevant to a particular neighbourhood.
18. From topic pages to creating entire sites:Yahoo’s World Cup site Yahoo’s World Cup website has been almost three times as popular as the second most visited site. (Hitwise, US, June 2010)
19. Semantic technologies for content As most media companies, Yahoo has a fragmented content landscape Content is acquired from hundreds of data providers each using their own proprietary formats Large amounts of structured data extracted from webpages The role of semantic technology is to unify content Unique identifier for each object RDF-like representation with rich metadata about each attribute value and relationship E.g. licensing, serving restrictions, provider OWL 2 as an ontology language
20. The Web of Objects A growing graph that will eventually cover the attributes and relationships of all entities known to Yahoo! Yahoo! Sports Yahoo! Movies Yahoo! News Yahoo! Local Yahoo! Music
21. Benefits Increased coverage for existing products that require entity graphs for navigation Dynamic interlinking of content E.g. direct links from Yahoo! News to background information in Yahoo! Music about an artist Dynamic composition of web pages Topic-entity pages Better understanding of user intent Semantic analysis of query logs Semantic analysis of navigation paths
23. Linked Data for Search and Online Media Enriching Search Answering specific information needs in vertical domains Helping users to discover related queries/content and to understand search results Linking owned content assets and the best of the Web Content optimization and display advertizing Recommendations (for example, related articles) Entire new sites generated on demand There is a need for both standards and industry agreements in establishing the data layer of the Web

Editor's Notes
Search is a form of content aggregation
Traditionally, homepage and search are both entry points to content
Again, page optimization and content aggregation are a form of search
