The Meet The Money (Entrepreneurs Helping Entrepreneurs) Boot Camp was held on November 2, 2007 at NAIT. James Ortlieb from EzSeer was one of nearly a dozen entrepreneurs invited to participate in the workshop. The purpose of the event is to help young companies hone the skills necessary to successfully secure financing from Angel Investors and Venture Capital firms.
Meet The Money is produced by a dynamic team of four female entrepreneurs, each successful in her own right. Angela Armstrong from Prime Capital, Johanna MacDonald from Johanna MacDonald & Associates, Carissa Reiniger from Silver Lining Ltd., and Laura Schuler from Trevoy LLP Lawyers.
Participants in the Boot Camp got a realistic insight into the expectations and requirements associated with new venture funding. At EzSeer we would like to commend all four of these ladies for presenting an interesting challenge and a compelling opportunity to this cadre of eager entrepreneurs. Good luck to all of the participants. For more information go to www.meetthemoney.ca.

EzSeer at TRLabs NGI Workshop
TRLabs held their first Next Generation Internet/Networks (NGI/NGN) workshop on November 9, 2007 at the University of Alberta School of Business. TRLabs is a leader in Canada's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. The focus of the workshop was to address the technical challenges associated with transmitting the ever increasing volumes of data, voice and video across the planet's Internet system.
EzSeer, was invited to present its cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technology as it pertains to Online Advertising and Social Network Sites. Although the workshop was largely focused on Web 2.0, Wikipedia.com describes artificial intelligence systems as being in the Web 3.0 domain and EzSeer's COO James Ortlieb was able to enlighten delegates on the latest trends.
Other notable speakers were: Bill St Arnaud -Senior Director Advanced Networks for Canarie Inc., and Dr Christian Schlegel - Professor at the UofA High Capacity Digital Communications Lab. Greatly anticipated was the presentation by one of the MIT fathers of the Internet, Dr. Lawrence Roberts - Founder, Chairman and Chief Architect for Anagran Inc.
EzSeer would like to thank Dr. David Antoniuk of TRLabs for the invitation to speak at the workshop. It was a great event.

EzSeer Vs. Collaborative Filtering/Association
Most of existing recommender systems are based on collaborative filtering or association rule, to build models based on occurrence.
For example, if I always open a dvd(B) page after I have visited a page of book A, they may learn patterns like:
if A visited, then B will be the next
The pattern is based on specific pages(urls), in other words, it not be applied on a brand new site, such as a Web site in China.
What EzSeer doing is in a different way, our model is not based on any specific information viewed, but how the user searches information.
For example, no matter where I am on the Web, either in Canada or in China, I use the same strategy to browse the Web, that is, use my ownbehavior model to search information.
Thus behavior based search technology could help the users no matter whether they are on the Web, and what they are working on.

EzSeer, See what you want easier!
EzSeer is a spin-off company of the University of Alberta, and it has exclusive licensing to enable the commercialization of a behavioral recommender system. As such, EzSeer is very much an Intellectual Property bound organization and is best understood by those with some IP or Technology experience.
EzSeer translates user behaviors into user interests and intentions. Essentially, EzSeer uses cutting-edge data mining algorithms to predict the user’s intentions, that is, it looks over your shoulder when you are on the computer, observes your actions, and through Artificial Intelligence Software determines your true interests.
EzSeer is able to predict the user’s intention based on the user’s behavior, to deliver the most relevant information (CRM, Call Centre, Enterprise Search), or connect you to the most interesting community groups (Social Networking), or present you with advertising that actually appeals to you (Online Advertising). EzSeer can also be integrated with any existing search system, acting as a proxy between the user and any search engines, to trigger the search engine to return more relevant information. In short, we can also make Google return more relevant results.
Currently, we have passed a 5 week, 104 participant study program on EzSeer Technology. What we need right now is an Angel Customer to get us well past the proof-of-concept stage.
