Deep Search
Search engines have embarked on an extremely ambitious project, organizing the world’s information. As we are moving deeper into dynamic, informationrich environments, their importance is set to increase. In order to overcome the limitations of a general topological organization of information and to develop a personalized framework, a new model of the world is assumed: everyone’s world is different. To implement this, search engines need to know an almost infinite amount of information about their users.
