Talk Proposal: Evolution of Search

[kushalgoenka]

• Draft Title: Evolution of Search
• Length: 20 min full presentation
• Links: The talk is an interactive web app (instead of PDF/slides)
• Which dates, particularly Tue/Wed/Thu during the 2nd/3rd week of a month, are you likely available? Relatively flexible, let me know what dates you are planning up ahead.

How search has evolved, from ancient librarians manually cataloging scrolls to modern semantic search. Whole story told through interactive demos & visualizations.
