Description:

Dafna Shahaf has so many cool research projects. In this episode we talked about a few of them - using metro maps to visualize information about events and storylines; an algorithm that judges jokes; a search engine that finds creative solutions using analogies; finding surprising facts in wikipedia. She tells us how she comes up with these ideas and how she choses which ones to focus on.
