DESCRIPTION:Navigating the network of knowledge: mining quotations from m
 assive-scale digital libraries of books\n\nAbstract: Scanning books\, ma
 gazines\, and newspapers is widespread because people believe a great de
 al of the world's information still resides off-line. In general after w
 orks are scanned they are indexed for search and processed to add links.
  In this talk I will describe a new approach to automatically add links 
 by mining repeated passages. This technique connects elements that are s
 emantically rich\, so strong relations are made. Moreover\, link targets
  point within rather than to the entire work\, facilitating navigation. 
 Our system has been run on a digital library of over 1 million books (Go
 ogle Book Search)\, has been used by thousands of people\, and has gener
 ated the world's largest collection of quotations. I will also present a
  follow-on project based on the theory that authors copy passages from b
 ook to book because these quotations capture an idea particularly well: 
 Jefferson on liberty\; Stanton on women's rights\; and Gibson on cyberpu
 nk. These projects suggest that mining quotations for links and ideas is
  an important mechanism for understanding the knowledge contained in boo
 ks. (This work is in collaboration with Okan Kolak\, Google Research and
  Google Book Search.)\n\nBio: Bill Schilit is part of the Google researc
 h team and an adopted member of the Book Search group. Before joining Go
 ogle\, Bill was co-director of the Intel Research lab in Seattle\, manag
 ed digital library and mobile computing research at Fuji-Xerox (FXPAL)\,
  worked on distributed computing at AT&T's Bell Labs\, and was part of t
 he team that developed Ubiquitous Computing at PARC. He is Associate Edi
 tor-in-Chief of Computer Magazine and a past member of the Board of Gove
 rnors of the IEEE Computer Society. Bill received a Ph.D. from Columbia 
 University in 1995.
