Yahoo! India Research and Development has entered into an agreement with Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), to provide access to a cluster of servers running Yahoo!’s Open Source Hadoop software and Web data, as part of an initiative to support the faculty and students of IIT-B in their research.
Hadoop is a Java software framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications under a free license. The partnership will support IIT-B researchers in areas such as advanced searching and ranking techniques aimed at bridging the gap between unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data, information extraction, and natural language processing.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Hadoop Cluster lab, Prabhakar Raghavan, SVP - Yahoo! Labs said, “Yahoo!’s collaboration with IIT Bombay will provide some of the brightest minds in India and the world with the raw computing power, Web-scale software technology, and rich data sets it will take to meet that challenge.”
