Google Updated Its Search Engine
While not strictly genealogy, virtually all of us use Google in our searches, genealogical and otherwise. Google announced on Friday that it is updating the tool to improve analysis of natural language processing and machine learning (a subcategory of artificial intelligence) to help make sense of users’ questions and deliver the most relevant results. The new software helps Google understand prepositional phrases, context, and small nuances in language.
The new artificial intelligence system is known as BERT-- Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformer. This new system has been designed to provide users with responses by paying attention to how to each word relates to each other in a sentence.
Before, Google says its search engine technology would only focus on words it considered important, disregarding sequence information. For example, using BERT, the search engine will now consider the word "no" in a Google search reading" “parking on a hill with no curb," whereas the older search engine would disregard that and thus produce responses about parking on a hill.
An example from their press release is:
“Here’s a search for “2019 brazil traveler to USA need a visa.” The word “to” and its relationship to the other words in the query are particularly important to understanding the meaning. It’s about a Brazilian traveling to the U.S., and not the other way around. Previously, Google’s algorithms wouldn't understand the importance of this connection, and Google returned results about U.S. citizens traveling to Brazil. With BERT, Search is able to grasp this nuance and know that the very common word “to” actually matters a lot here, and they can provide a much more relevant result for this query.”
