Daniel Tunkelang
Daniel is a passionate advocate for human-computer information retrieval, an approach that aims to better harness human intelligence in the information-seeking process. Before
joining Google, he was a founding employee and Chief Scientist at
Endeca, where he developed a faceted search system that has over 250
million users around the world. He designed TunkRank, a robust method
for measuring Twitter authority. Daniel has often served as a bridge
between academic researchers and industry practitioners. He founded
the annual workshops on Human-Computer Interaction and Information
Retrieval (HCIR) and has chaired the industry track at ACM SIGIR, the
world’s leading conference on information retrieval. Daniel’s book Faceted Search—the
first book on faceted search—was published as part of the Morgan & Claypool lecture series. Daniel received a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University for his work on information visualization.
