I've been thinking for a while that a conversational search engine is the next iteration of search. If you query a human expert, you don't expect the correct answer immediately - it comes by filtering out possible answers with subsequent clarifying queries. The next gen search engine should be this way.

- richard___ 9y agoLet's say you're reading this research paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.05407.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.05407.pdf I want to know: "In Rob Fergus' paper intrinsic motivation and self-play, how is it that the reward for agent A can be based on the time taken for agent B's task, when agent A and B are run sequentially, and agent B runs after agent A?" Can Google answer this? No. Is NLP smart enough to answer this? Probably not. But the question itself is hard to write in one sentence. Complex queries are best structured as conversations, with clarifying back and forth, Socratic method style, like if you're asking a professor a question about hard science.
