Semanic Experiences

On April 13th, Google announced their new A.I. experiments from the research division that works with semantics and language. Google is a company that is known for their textual search engine, and the advancement that they made can help them to expand their business and make software that can understand human language.

Google now has many A.I. language tools, also known as the Semantic Experiences. It uses word vectors, which is a type of natural language that matches similar phrases to other points based on similarity in ideas and language. Word vectors allows algorithms to use actual language usage to relate words.

One of the experiments released is called Talk to Books, and it basically allows the user to speak with an algorithm based on learning. The algorithm brings up answers to questions with relevant texts. It's different from Google Search because the user doesn't need to click on links to get their information. The algorithm displays the passages that are relevant for the user.

A limitation to this experiment is that it is mainly good for answering factual questions, and it's not as good at answering questions about geopolitics, culture, and historical importance. Despite these limitations. Talk to Books is a nice way to learn on the web. It is the start to future education.
