Hummingbird unleashed. Understanding the new Google Search AlgorithmGianluca Fiorelli
How does Hummingbird work? We cannot tell it and very few has been explicitly told about it by Amit Singhal and others Google spokespersons.
But we can reasonably try to figure out the basis of its functioning and, therefore, understand how SEO is definitively changed.

State Of The Art Image Recognition In 7 Lines Of PythonNejc Zupan
In the past few months, I’ve been going through the latest updates in the Artificial Intelligence field. Turns out that the tooling has matured considerably and it is no longer required that one has a Ph.D. in math to use deep learning and similar techniques. Quite on the contrary! Any Python coder, with basic high school math, can build and train highly accurate models for categorizing images, translation machines, recommender systems and more.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

Editor's Notes
Samuel Johnson: English author (Encyclopedia Britannica)
“Single most quoted English writer after Shakespeare”
We have talked about the First step in Information Literacy – Defining the need
Step 2 is Finding the Information
If you want to find out more information where is the first place you look?
Generally it is the internet these days
A lot of people just go to the internet to do their research
The Internet is one place to go but as we will see later, some of the sources found there may not be reliable: Chuck Norris “Facts”
Handout Myths about the internet: PAGE 19
One of my favorite search engines is Google
Handout Google Search Sheet: PAGE 20
Show Video: Searching the Web In Plain English
Demonstrate
Phrase searching (quotes)
A fool and his gold are soon parted
“A fool and his gold are soon parted”
NOTsearching (say you are interested in the bass guitar) (minus sign)
Bass (hmm first hits are about fishing so
Bass –fish –fishes –fishing (and so on)
Explain how pages get to the top of Google (top ranked pages have the most pages that link to them): Wikipedia links to itself
Search engines – what other ones are there?
Ask.com or Dogpile.com (meta search engine)
Directories
Librarian’s internet index - http://lii.org/
Segue into Wikipedia - Show Steven Colbert on Wikipedia
Wikipedia (Wiki – something on the web anyone can contribute to, pedia is an abbreviation of encyclopedia)
Good place to start
Changes constantly
Never used as a source for academic papers: but can be a “source” for sources
This time we are actually going to edit a Wikipedia article.
First thing you have to do is create an account on Wikipedia. On the top right hand corner of the main page it says create account. Create a user name, a password and enter the words in the image on the page and you’ll have an account. You don’t even need to enter an e-mail address! You can either do this before class or during class to demonstrate the ease of creating an account
Here is one approach if you are comfortable with off the cuff. Ask the students for a subject. Go to that page in Wikipedia and edit it with something foolish. You may want to experiment a bit before so you know what the symbols mean. The 5th symbol is the Headline. Save the page and show the students. (Do go back and remove your edit.)
Or just do this: put something like “Your mama has a myocardial infarction” on the top of the HEART ATTACK page. You may want to experiment a bit before so you know what the symbols mean. The 5th symbol is the Headline. Save the page and show the students. (Do go back and remove your edit during or after class.)
How do we find and access information? - particularly online
One way is via an OPAC – most libraries have OPACs now
Online Public Access Catalog
OPACs catalog the holdings of a specific library or library system.
OPACs do not catalog what is in the material – for instance an OPAC may say a library has a particular periodical but it will not say what is in it (and no newspapers or phone books)
OPACs allow for searching using several criteria – author, title, subject, keywords, etc
