[Control of the Internet] is not a matter of scale so much as a question of diversity.

Everyone’s behavior has its own long tail.

—Ricardo Baeza-Yates

Ricardo Baeza-Yates is Chief Technology Officer, NTENT, California, and part-time Professor in the Department of Information and Communication Technologies of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain, and the Department of Computer Science, at the University of Chile. Formerly he was Vice President of Research at Yahoo! Labs, leading teams in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. He is a founding member of the Chilean Academy of Engineering.

His research interests include algorithms and data structures, information retrieval, web data mining, and data visualization. His contributions include algorithms for string search, such as the shift-or algorithm, and algorithms for fuzzy string searching, which inspired the bitap algorithm.

Among his publications are the second edition of Modern Information Retrieval, co-authored with Berthier Ribeiro-Neto (Addison-Wesley, 2011); the second edition of Handbook of Algorithms and Data Structures, co-authored with Gaston H. Gonnet (Addison-Wesley, 1991); and Information Retrieval: Data Structures and Algorithms, co-edited with W. Frakes (Prentice-Hall, 1992).

Note: This dialogue was done in 2014, and was revised by R.B.-Y. in 2016.

Adolfo Plasencia:

I’ve come to your Yahoo! lab in Barcelona to talk to you about technologies and the digital revolution, which is proving to be something like Pandora’s box.
