Machine Learning for Information Retrieval (Score 1)

One of my favorite professors here at UC San Diego does a ton of interesting work regarding AI in search engines. Some are document based (like find things related to this document) and others have to do with merging to delated document heierarchies. And still some others use GAs to do protien recognition and docking. Very cool stuff. His web page is here , but the page looks a little out of date. And if you want any more info, send me or him an email.
Best of luck,
Ben
