Exposing the Entity Web
Unstructured natural language text found in blogs, news and other web
content is rich with semantic relations linking entities (people, places
and things). At Evri, we are building a system which automatically reads
web content similar to the way humans do. The system can be thought of as
an army of 7th grade grammar students armed with a really large dictionary.
The dictionary, or knowledge base, consists of relatively static
information mined from structured and semi-structured publicly available
information repositories like Crunchbase, Wikipedia, and Amazon.
This large knowledge base is in turn used by a highly distributed search
and indexing infrastructure to perform a deep linguistic analysis of many
millions of documents ultimately culminating in a large set of semantic
relationships expressing grammatical SVO style clause level relationships.
This highly expressive, exacting, and scalable index makes possible a new
generation of information navigation and content recommendation
applications.
Biography:
Deep Dhillon is the CTO of Seattle based startup Evri. He is an
accomplished engineer and systems architect with extensive experience
conceptualizing, architecting and deploying multiple high performance
advanced networking applications. Mr. Dhillon received a B.S. in Electrical
Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a M.S. in
Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Evri Background:
Evri is a Seattle based web start-up company funded by Paul Allen’s Vulcan
Ventures and led by Will Hunsinger, former CEO at Adeze and VP at Gap
Online. Evri has multiple products including web based topic pages, a suite

extensive API. Evri recently launched its application on Hearst
Corporation’s LMK.com site, on Yahoo! Sports pages, and on the Washington

Hey everyone,
I hope you are all busy polishing your resumes for the upcoming career fair. Keep in mind that companies like to look at resumes before and after the career fair, so please post them on the CSE resume database, the UW Husky Jobs site, and the Washington Technology Industry Association sits all linked here: http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ugrad/current/careers/index.html
Additionally, if you’d like one on one appointments to look over your resume, the CSE professional masters program advisor is helping the ugrad team with career related events and he will be taking appointments over the next few weeks. His name is Dave Rispoli, and you can email him directly for resume review appointments at rispoli@cs
We look forward to seeing you all at the Career Fair this week. Please note there are two. One is for the UW, but that will have different companies than you’ll see on Friday. Friday is just targeting CSE students and we need to make a BIG showing. So please plan to attend whether you are looking for full time positions or summer internships.
SEBA sponsored Science & Engineering Fair is Thursday 12-5 in the HUB

Hi all,
We’ve already reached our cap for the tech interview coaching sessions on Monday, so I had to close the online RSVP.
If you would like to participate and didn’t sign up, please email Dave Rispoli (rispoli@cs), and he can add you to a waitlist in case of cancellations. You should specify if you can attend the 3:30-4:30pm session or the 4:30-5:30pm or either.
For everyone who filled out the survey, I just sent email to both groups confirming your session time. Some students with a preference for 3:30 were moved to 4:30 due to limitations on space.
See you Monday!
Megan
