Find 'Rick and Morty' rants with a quote search engine

Engadget

Rick and Morty is chock-full of quotable moments, so it would only make sense that someone would eventually find a way search every single word, wouldn't it? The creators of the Simpsons and Futurama search tools (Paul Kehrer, Sean Schulte and Allie Young) have trotted out Master of All Science, a web engine that lets you find any Rick and Morty line and create a meme or animated GIF to match. If you want to share the existential despair of a butter robot or understand why the entire series revolves around Mulan, you just have to punch in the right keywords. As before, the team's system revolves around tying closed caption text to hundreds of thousands of frames plucked from the show. In a sense, the Rick and Morty engine is the culmination of the developers' work so far: it's proof that their technology can search virtually any show where it was originally very Simpsons-specific.

How do search engines generate lists of relevant links? The outcome is the result of two powerful forces in the evolution of information retrieval: artificial intelligence -- especially natural language processing -- and crowdsourcing. Computer algorithms interpret the relationship between the words we type and the vast number of possible web pages based on the frequency of linguistic connections in the billions of texts on which the system has been trained. But that is not the only source of information. The semantic relationships get strengthened by professional annotators who hand-tune results -- and the algorithms that generate them -- for topics of importance, and by web searchers (us) who, in our clicks, tell the algorithms which connections are the best ones.


How to build a search engine: Part 1

@machinelearnbot

In this multi-part series, we will explore how to build a search engine. It will be quite powerful and industrial strength. The first part will focus on getting the right tools and getting technology stack ready. We will build this search engine with an AngularJS front-end and use elasticsearch as the computation back end. Most applications of today are data driven.


Are Search Engines Fair? Auditing Search Engines for Differential Satisfaction

#artificialintelligence

Many online services, such as search engines, social media platforms, and digital marketplaces, are advertised as being available to any user, regardless of their age, gender, or other demographic factors. However, there are growing concerns that these services may systematically underserve some groups of users. From a social perspective, this is troubling. Search engines are a modern analog of libraries and should therefore provide equal access to information, irrespective of users' demographic factors. From a public-relations perspective, service providers and the decisions made by their services are under increasing scrutiny by journalists and civil-rights enforcement for seemingly unfair behavior.


Google kills off Instant, one of the search engine's fastest features

The Independent - Tech

Google has killed off Instant, one of its search engine's quickest features. When it launched back in 2010, it was hailed as "the future of search" and the company also described it as "search-before-you-type". Google said the main benefit it would offer users was saving them time. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.


Asymmetric Deep Supervised Hashing

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Hashing has been widely used for large-scale approximate nearest neighbor search because of its storage and search efficiency. Recent work has found that deep supervised hashing can significantly outperform non-deep supervised hashing in many applications. However, most existing deep supervised hashing methods adopt a symmetric strategy to learn one deep hash function for both query points and database (retrieval) points. The training of these symmetric deep supervised hashing methods is typically time-consuming, which makes them hard to effectively utilize the supervised information for cases with large-scale database. In this paper, we propose a novel deep supervised hashing method, called asymmetric deep supervised hashing (ADSH), for large-scale nearest neighbor search. ADSH treats the query points and database points in an asymmetric way. More specifically, ADSH learns a deep hash function only for query points, while the hash codes for database points are directly learned. The training of ADSH is much more efficient than that of traditional symmetric deep supervised hashing methods. Experiments show that ADSH can achieve state-of-the-art performance in real applications.

#artificialintelligence

We had to go through a whole process of development and discovery, and, as a result of computer experts working hand in hand with domain experts over the course of 15 to 20 years, computers and specialized software were developed to suit different needs. Most people now are familiar with conversion rate optimization (CRO), where site operators try to maximize conversions by testing new ideas for design, messaging, user experience, and more. The operator sets parameters and goals, but the AI decides the combination of ideas, always trying to find a better answer and better results against that goal. And just like computerization, AI enablement will only be fully achieved once all of us can be considered AI experts by today's standards.


Extracting Keywords From Short Text - The Ape Machine

#artificialintelligence

Many years ago, the first time I ever needed to get to the most important keywords in a short sentence, I was developing some software for a company of psychologists who were making a platform that had a module which needed related sentences to be pulled from a database of linguistic challenges. The idea was to match the sentence to be retrieved with the keywords of the previous sentence, and as I knew very little about machine learning at the time, I went with my own naive solution to calculate the Scrabble score of each word in a sentence, and taking the top Nth scoring words from those results and assume them to be the keywords. This actually works surprisingly well, were it not for some stop-words that score quite high in Scrabble. Of course, you can just deploy a stop-list into this method, and things will get solved, which even is quite scalable, since any language only containes so many words you would like filtered out, and you only have to define this list once. The next implementation was Rapid Automated Keyword Extraction, which actually only works a little better than the previous method, and still makes use of a stop-list.

For example Google search understands queries like movies, geography, images etc. Users want to get more information and today's Google search engine cannot provide such information. The cloud is changing the world of computer in a very profound way.The big search engine trend contain three components: For example in real time personalization; companies can improve their customer experience. These are missing in today's search engine technology.


Artificial Intelligence and Search Engine Trend

#artificialintelligence

Search engines understand very broad and generic information. This is why many of these search engine providers keep updating their search systems with different algorithms. For example Google search understands queries like movies, geography, images etc. This is not what a user wants. Users want to get more information and today's Google search engine cannot provide such information.
