Interesting. Was this paper actually published somewhere? I didn't see any listing of a conference name. Am curious what kind of academic conferences for which this paper would be suitable. Would like to check those proceedings out.

And as an aside, I had no idea that Yahoo had a research division.

Yahoo has a very large research group that publishes a lot of great research. Check out their site.

Yahoo Research haven't come up on my radar before either, whereas I've seen reams of material from Microsoft Research and Google.

Here's their Publications page: http://research.yahoo.com/publication

Yahoo Research people regularly win "Best Paper" awards in web-related conferences. For example, from this page: http://research.yahoo.com/node/3443 "For the third year in a row, Yahoo! Labs took the Best Paper Award at WSDM 2011"

I think it's WWW-2011 (it says so in the PDF).
