Imagine asking your smartphone for a pizza and, in response, getting directions to a nearby pizza parlor as well as whether your friends have gone there, and a consensus of reviews?! Through a Yahoo Labs and Carnegie Mellon partnership to advance personalization and mobile technologies, your smartphone may be able to do everything but slice the pizza for you. The five-year, $10 million partnership, Project InMind, will enable CMU researchers to experiment with Yahoo’s real-time data services, letting them test new ways that machine learning and interface technologies can improve personalized user experiences. The project will also provide financial and research support to CMU computer science students.
