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.

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.

Tuesday, the 9th November 2009 is one of the happiest day of my life since I got one of the dearest thing in my life that is Nephew – New Junior in my family. My brother had this baby boy and who is yet to be named on the time of writing this blog. Here is picture of first glimpse of him as he really didn’t want to open his eyes to this materialistic world

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.

I had the opportunity to visit Islamabad and spend 4 days there. Basically, It was more of Study tour from my university on IEEE annual event of Pakistan Student Congress 2009. It was 3rd PSC starting its journey from our University. It was 3 day event and 9 students from my university were accompanying me.

I wouldn’t bore you more by telling you about event. Indeed I am more interested to tell you about my Islamabad City. I had very rare opportunity to see the city but it was enough to impress me with its natural beauty and well planned infrastructure. The credit goes to Hira Wajahat Malik who were more of as guide for me – not forgetting the “free guide” .

On Saturday, we had 3 hours to visit Islamabad and I asked Hira to take me the best possible place and guess what it was 3200 Feet above the ground. It is called “Monal Point”. The very nice restaurant set up to give the beautiful and clear view of city. We took the taxi with deal of Rs.700 and giving us ride back as well. It took around 40 mins drive to reach there but what a sight it was giving.

The best thing about Islamabad was that there was no rickshaw or Bus or any other high smoke releasing vehicle. Thus you could feel the freshness in the air. The public transport was Hi-Ace moving from areas to areas. There were only 6 high rise buildings in the city as others were small houses only.

One could easily see the plantation from the above snap throughout the city and not forgetting People of Islamabad were also very beautiful – No wonder, considering the fresh environment.
