Gijs Hendriksen presenting our work on "remote querying" to provide access to huge Web resources through de facto standard tech: Parquet files in S3 queried using #DuckDB to facilitate IR research at very acceptable latencies.
Run your ClueWeb experiment in 10 minutes or so, and repeat your experiments on recent Web data from the #openwebsearcheu Open Web Index.

#ECIR2026 notifications were friendly to me 🤗
1. Full paper "Open Web Indexes for Remote Querying" with @gijs and @djoerd.
Can we let ppl query the Terabytes of Web Index we collect in #OpenWebSearchEU in new ways, making good use of Parquet, S3, DuckDB?
Turns out the answer is a big YES!
Pre-print of the paper w/ code coming soon!

⭐️ OpenSearch #AdventCalendar | Day 19
ows.eu – Looking back & looking forwardAs the year is slowly coming to an end and we are ready to wind down a bit, it's time for a little year in review of our OpenWebSearch.eu project.
A quick reminder: We started the Horizon EU project in September 2022 with 13 other consortium partners.
Read about the year´s highlights in today´s advent calendar post:

Woke up at 6am to cycle through the pouring rain to the train station and miss my train by half a minute or so... Oh well.
On my way to the *Dutch-Belgian Information Retrieval workshop*, in Delft this year. Looking forward to spending the day with colleagues and getting updated on all the ongoing IR research "nearby".

In the afternoon, I stand in for @djoerd who unfortunately cannot make it (Covid 🙁), and will present the talk on #OpenWebSearchEU research project.

The first third-party funded project partners are on board!
They were selected from the first open call in spring and will enrich the #EU #horizonEurope project OpenWebSearch.eu with their expertise.
A warm welcome!More info: https://openwebsearch.eu/third-parties-onboarding

Busy event week!
👉 #SC23 in Denver with #OpenWebSearchEU partners @LRZ_DE + IT4Innovations
👉 major panel on #OpenWebSearch + #LLMs at #NGIForum23 in Brussels , moderated by @osf's board member @frauplote and with OpenWebSearch.eu's principal investigator @grani of Universität Passau in the panel of experts. @alnuss explained the basic ows.eu ethics methodology at a workshop on #EthicsinSearch. Plus lots of good talks + interesting meetings with members of fellow @EC_NGI projects! -
Chorizo alarm for the weekend!
What does a slice of chorizo have to do with open #websearch? Dr. Tim Smith from #OpenWebSearchEU's project partner CERN shows the added value of an #OpenWebIndex for #internetsearch in his TED Talk "Navigating the Entangled Web" using examples from physics.
Highly recommended!⬇️ https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_smith_navigating_the_entangled_web

Hello, live from the ows.eu consortium meeting in Ostrava! We are the #OpenWebSearchEU initiative, having joined forces to promote Europe’s independence in Web Search.
The goal: to develop an open European infrastructure for web search. Our initiative will be contributing to Europe’s digital sovereignty as well as promoting an open human-centered search engine market.Since today we are – finally – on Mastodon. Nice to be here!

Some incomplete list of publications that analyzed the #CommonCrawl data to identify malicious content are:

#OWLer is the #OpenWebSearchEU collaborative web crawler. Do we crawl everything?

❗ Even if search engines were completely neutral, the problem of human bias would remain.
👉 How can the influence of Confirmation Bias during web-search be identified through analyzing search behaviour of users?
At the Open Search Symposium #ossym23 Simon Hitzginger presented new research of a group of researchers of #TUGraz
Bottom line: Prediction of confirmation bias using search behaviour is possible. It could be used to inform users. But more data is needed.

👋 Meet #OWLer: Michael Dinzinger from University Passau's #OpenWebSearch team presented preliminary results on the collaborative #OpenWebCrawler at #ossym23
👉 In the last 4 weeks 1 single crawler of the OWLer family has fetched around 120m web documents, 93% of them successful fetches, said Michael Dinzlinger at #ossym23 Open Search Symposium.

When we submitted our JASIST position paper on the development of an open web index, reviewers complained that the term "gatekeeper" was ill-defined. Since yesterday, the EU made it utterly clear:
