Arguably, the most important scenario for search technology is lifelong learning and education, both for students and all citizens. Human learning is a complex multidimensional activity, which includes procedural learning (e.g., activity patterns associated with cooking, sports) and knowledge-based learning (e.g., mathematics, genetics). It also includes different levels of learning, such as the ability to solve an individual math problem correctly. It also includes the development of meta-cognitive self-regulatory abilities, such as recognizing the type of problem being solved and whether one is in an error state. These latter types of awareness enable correctly regulating ones approach to solving a problem, and recognizing when one is off track by repairing momentary errors as needed. Later stages of learning enable the generalization of learned skills or information from one context or domain to others such as applying math problem solving to calculations in the wild (e.g., calculation of garden space, engineering calculations required for a structurally sound building).

Contributor and SMX speaker, Duane Brown, explains in this video why 2020 is the year to get a handle on your mobile experience as well as find the platforms your customers are on and experiment if they're new to you. I run an agency up in Montreal, Canada. We focus on kind of two areas, paid ads, PPC, Google, Facebook, stuff like that.

In the task of factoid question answering over knowledge base, many questions have more than one plausible interpretation. Previous works on SimpleQuestions assume only one interpretation as the ground truth for each question, so they lack the ability to answer ambiguous questions correctly. In this paper, we present a new way to utilize the dataset that takes into account the existence of ambiguous questions. Then we introduce a simple and effective model which combines local knowledge subgraph with attention mechanism. Our experimental results show that our approach achieves outstanding performance in this task.

We generalize to the finite-state case the notion of the extreme effect variable $Y$ that accumulates all the effect of a variant variable $V$ observed in changes of another variable $X$. We conduct theoretical analysis and turn the problem of finding of an effect variable into a problem of a simultaneous decomposition of a set of distributions. The states of the extreme effect variable, on the one hand, are minimally affected by the variant variable $V$ and, on the other hand, are extremely different with respect to the observable variable $X$. We apply our technique to online evaluation of a web search engine through A/B testing and show its utility.

So is DuckDuckGo no good? Surprised you did not mention it. Following last week's article about privacy and surveillance capitalism, several readers wrote in about the absence of DuckDuckGo, and it was mentioned a dozen times in the comments. I have suggested this privacy-oriented search engine a few times since 2012, and I think it's worth a go. However, I'm answering Murray's earlier query along the same lines because I can use his email verbatim rather than cobbling together a joint question from multiple sources.
