They are academics who specialise in “Information Retrieval – Artificial Intelligence”. I have read a few of their papers and it has given me a more intuitive sense of how search engines function.
As you expect, we humans tend to anthromorphosize (we like to think machines etc have feelings) and with google there is a tendancy to think its got brains, when in fact its just a bunch of calculations giving the appearance of intelligence. This is why spmmers exist and do very well.
Anyway to conclude, this site helps get a better handle on the workings of google. A great suppliment to this, is this video presentation from google on symantec indexing:

Thank you for quoting my site and referring to LSI.
The problem with most SEOs is that when it comes to explaining LSI they often provide no how-to math procedures, but forms speculations or myths with no scientific basis. One thing is to talk in a seo book/blog about how LSI myth work and something different is providing how-to instructions leading to the computation of SVD scores. I have taken the time to expose these SEO snakeoil sellers through a tutorial series on SVD and LSI.
Most definitely, LSI does not work as some of the above links suggest, nor as how most SEOs are telling their clients.
