Ask Jeeves opens its research center in Pisa, Italy. The facility will serve as Ask Jeeves' European hub for search technology research.

Ask Jeeves new research and development center will be working directly with the company's U.S.-based research centers in Campbell, CA. and Piscataway, NJ.

The creation of the research center furthers Ask Jeeves' presence in Europe.

The company recently launched two European Web search sites, Ask Espana and Ask Deutschland, with additional European launches planned later in 2006.

"Ask Jeeves' research and development team is continually striving to develop the most innovative and useful technologies for our users," said Apostolos Gerasoulis, executive vice president of search technology at Ask Jeeves.

"The creation of a research center in Italy will allow us to access the broadest pool of talented professionals across Europe, while helping the company to further advance its world-class technology for users globally."

Lead by Antonio Gulli, an expert in search engine technology and the creator of Italy's first search engine, Arianna, the Ask Jeeves European research center will support all of Ask Jeeves search sites, including the flagship Ask.com.

With broad expertise in machine learning, social networking, data mining, information retrieval and other theories and technologies, the team in Italy will contribute to all aspects of the Ask Jeeves search engine, including its unique ranking methodology, which leverages topic clusters on the Web to determine relevance.

Additionally, research will be conducted on vertical search technologies, like image and news, and application-level features, such as Zoom related search.

"Our European team has already made great strides in the continued innovation around Ask Jeeves search, and this new research center will fuel further development of useful and innovative search products for our users," said Gulli.
