Today we’re pleased to bring you a post by Jan Pedersen, Chief Scientist for Yahoo!’s Search and Marketplace. Jan began his career at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) where he managed a research program on information access technologies, and then went on to work with Verity, Infoseek, and Alta Vista, purchased by Overture. Today, Jan is a very familiar sight around our campus, often in the company of the search industry’s leading minds – folks that work at Yahoo!, like Andrei Broder, as well as many others from IBM, Google, Microsoft, and major academic institutions here and abroad. The role these scientists play in advancing the search industry and raising the game for all of us cannot be underestimated. Jan is also on the board for the Association for Computing Machinery special interest group for information retrieval, SIGIR.
