Dream of a linguist, research in natural language can now be tested by Internet users on the content of Wikipedia through a tool designed by the company Power set. Based on the interpretation of sentences rather than built on a selection of keywords and Boolean operators, research in natural language is supposed to apply to allow a search engine as we speak to a spokesperson. Powered by Tim Burners Lee, one of the founding fathers of the current Web, the principle of “natural search” is to develop a semantic and syntactical the proposal entry to the Internet, see how the words used by the Internet ’s articulate, to determine the exact meaning of his research. Rather than seize disparate words, we therefore ask his question in the form of a complete sentence. “Unlike other search engines that index keyword, Power set is conducting a linguistic analysis of the sentences it is obliged to read,” says the firm in a statement. In other words: to understand the meaning of words rather than simply identifying their occurrences in any pages of result. Power set, natural search in Wikipedia In gestation for more than two years, the draft Power set has earned him the attention of the biggest such as Google or Microsoft, according to the rumor, allegedly planned to buy the company founded in 2005 and based in San Francisco. Cantoned the English Wikipedia pages, Power set actually offer different results from those that return a traditional engine, and is very effective on some queries. As will happen even when Power set attempt to index the infinite variety of pages on the Web?
