Web Information Management | Yahoo! Research

The Web Information Management group aims to develop the infrastructure to build, maintain, and analyze the next generation of web information and software services. In particular, we envision that this will require information management on an unprecedented scale to support data-backed applications, and to support information discovery over web content that is intelligently interpreted, leveraging both algorithmic techniques and social interactions.
