DESCRIPTION:Olivier Bousquet\, Google\, Zürich\nOver the last few years\,
  search engines have evolved from complex keyword matching and scoring alg
 orithms towards systems that can understand users questions and answer the
 m directly. Important factors in this evolution are the ability to represe
 nt knowledge in a way that computers can manipulate it\, and the ability t
 o connect structured knowledge to natural language corpora. This talk will
  discuss how Google search has been going through a radical transformation
  in this direction. We will talk about some of the key technologies behind
  the Google Knowledge Graph and its applications in search.\nOlivier Bousq
 uet is a Director of Engineering in the search team at Google. He led the 
 team that developed the natural language understanding technology behind G
 oogle's Knowledge Graph. Prior to Google\, Olivier was Director of Researc
 h at Pertinence (now part of Dassault Systèmes)\, working on data analysi
 s algorithms that make manufacturing processes more efficient. He also has
  extensive experience in Machine Learning and holds a PhD in Applied Mathe
 matics from Ecole Polytechnique (France).
