Yahoo! Key Scientific Challenges
INVENT THE FUTURE OF THE INTERNET
What are the big problems Yahoo! is working on? What are the major challenges facing our industry today? What will the next generation of the Internet look like and how will we get there? These are questions we’re asked about every day here at Yahoo! – and the answers to them are going to create some pretty big opportunities for PhD students doing research in areas of Search Experiences, Machine Learning, Data Management, Information Extraction, Economics, Statistics, Multimedia, Computational Advertising, Social Sciences, Green Computing, Security, Privacy and other related fields.
In January 2012, we’re launching our Key Scientific Challenges Program, a unique chance for PhD students to receive $5,000 in seed funding, access to selected Yahoo! datasets through Webscope™, the opportunity to collaborate with Yahoo! Scientists and an exclusive invitation to the Key Scientific Challenges Graduate Student Summit.
Take a look at some of the challenges at
