The Future of Search November 30, 2009

After long efforts, I chose my Final Year Under graduation Project as The new Semantic Ranking System for Search Engines.  I am have reading a lot on it on Internet and Books which really inspired me to work towards it.

We are basically working on Ranking Systems and writing our own Algorithms for Ranking system based on Semantics which includes the personalization of User queries means we are putting efforts on providing the Search Results to users depending upon the previous User Search History. So basically rule is “More you ll use the system, Smarter and personalized it ll become for You”.

Google has already introduced the demo of it but yet they themselves accept that they are far away from their perceived success but IBM through its Lab Research Project called “Clever Search” seems really promising but it is yet to make public.

We see Search as the horizon where Computer Science has yet to make progress. Neural networks and Fuzzy concepts have been successful in solving lots of Search Problems but when it comes to Web we sometimes puts our hands down.

In our project, we are working Using boolean Set Vector and Probability model to personalize the data. More details will follow on coming blog updates.

Regular Crisis in Pakistan November 30, 2009

Crisis has become regular part of common Pakistani living on Regular income basis which itself make more than 80% of Pakistan’s Population. The crisis goes from Sugar to Wheat, Power to Water, Oil to Transport. Everyone here is in position of chaos until and unless you have so much in your pocket that it shields you and may be I am very few of them lucky one.

I don’t see Pakistan looming anywhere with its current drivers and nor I see any hope trying to get rid of them. I am sure it is my first blog among all previous which sounds so pessimistic. But never the less, today even I am unable to see even fuzzy of Pakistan which is growing, grooming and giving one more reason to live here.

Visit to Singapore November 8, 2009

Trip to Singapore came with the chance to participate in IEEE Regional Student Congress that was held at National University of Singapore from 16-19th July 2009. I left from Karachi on 12th July and had a night over stop at Colombo and then flight to Singapore on 13th July.

Singapore is very well developed specially worth mentioning its local transportation system. I happened to be there for 13 days and I had pretty much good time there and I really don’t think that I missed anything on its map which i should have visited. Its a very small country though but very beautiful and so its people which I fount quite helpful.

Roads and everything was so well directed specially the detailed free maps that were available everywhere were really helpful and new visitor can roam around very easily.

The best place that I found there was Sentosa Beach as usual but I would like to recommend people to see one place which usually is not found on Singapore’s Map and actually you have go out of Singapore boundary to see that. It is called “Pulao Ubin” Island which has its all 1960’s culture left with it. It is small and beautiful island of Mangrove Jungles for which I had to use every type of transport to reach i.e. Train, Bus and Boat. I borrowed the Bi-Cycle there for 8 SGD and had a time of 6 hours of cycling there. It was so scary at some places where I had to enter like its my last moment of life. But it was equally adventurous as well.

The places that I saw at Singapore includes: Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, Sentosa Island, Singapore Towers, China Town and Little india.

Over all its very small and beautiful country where I didn’t find any law and order problem as I am struggling to remember any cop that I saw there.
