Folks:
 I added a couple of slides after the class to reflect additional 
discussion on semantic web/clustering/information extraction etc that we 
wound up doing.

Also, the citeseer uses the extracted citations to a lot of aggregate 
measures. The most important of which, for your information (especially if 
you are a graduate student), is the impact of various publication venues in 
CS (i.e., how many papers published in those conferences/journals are 
actually referred to by others).

(This list is automatically generated. If the conference/journal you are 
publishing in is ranked lower than (greater than) 300 or so, you should 
reconsider! If it is above 800 or so, you should drastically 
reconsider--nobody other than you probably read it ;-) Best to stay in 
venues below 100.

> You would be surprised, for example, at how few of the papers in many
so-called highly selective conferences are actually read and cited by anyone.
