Cynthia Rudin on The Next Generation of Search Engines - a podcast by Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University

The current generation of search engines just tells you where to find information (returns a list of webpages). The next generation of search engines could anticipate what you are searching for, and actually find the information for you.

In this conversation, Cynthia Rudin — associate professor of statistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and director of the Prediction Analysis Lab — leads a brainstorming session to envision the future of the search engine.Challenges for the audience:
* What are some cases where Google fails miserably?* Do you sometimes want to find the answer to a complicated type of question? How do you envision the answer being presented?
* Do you have ideas of what the capabilities will be for the next generation of search engines?* What are some lessons we can learn from search engines from the past? This will be mainly audience participation.
