As long as there isn't a fourth one with whales or Jar Jar in it, I'm pretty open minded. And I was thinking that the librarian from the 1999 Mummy would be a great for commercials.

Daniel — congrats on finishing the book!

Now, the burning question that everyone wants to know: What sort of deal did you strike with the publisher for movie rights? And will they ask you to write the screenplay?

I can see the three-quel movie titles already:

Faceted Search: A New Hope
Faceted Search: Google Strikes Back
Faceted Search: Return of Relevance

Thanks! It is a relief, and I hope the book prove useful and enjoyable to read.

Mariana, I’m not an expert on opinion mining, let alone on web opinion mining. It sounds like you want to perform focused crawling and then do your own indexing to perform the opinion mining (and probably other information extraction), then leveraging the extracted metadata at query time. But you’ve clearly worked in this field a lot longer than I have, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

As for an article on faceted search, of course I recommend my book! But if you can’t wait–or if you want something for free, you might consider this book chapter by Marti Hearst:

Congratulations!I can imagin how relieved you must be, enjoy.
2 questions:
1.I am doing opinion mining and I do the IR and then NLP with the final OM evaluation. Do you think is better to have the intelligence in the search engine or in the process that is performed after that?For example I might want pages in spanish only. (The problem is that the links in the enlish pages that point to other spanish pages might not be reached if I do this at crawling time, or that crawling will take longer)
2. Which article do you recomend for faceted search? Is it a kind of slice/dice tree bruncbing for linguistic information as NE? Sorry but I am confused?

If you want to check some of my stuff here it is:
1. Working in the crawler from the people of http://www.flaptor.com
2. NLP, eclectic either NLKT, vector spaces manipulations, taggers,stemm, ….
3. Particular opinion mining written soft, based partialy on Turney’s work. Maybe Liu also

You can google me online, there is some of my stuff arround I think

Thank you very much for you time
