Microsoft makes AI tool for better search available as an open source project
- WanderPanda 7y agoMath.random() or what part?
- bryanrasmussen 7y agono it turns out it's "A distributed approximate nearest neighborhood search (ANN) library which provides a high quality vector index build, search and distributed online serving toolkits for large scale vector search scenario." But Math.random() is a really good guess.
- westpfelia 7y agoOpen sourced the print statement
- afturner 7y agoyou're funny, we all know it's Google.innerHtml
- anewhnaccount2 7y agoGood press release title. Now just add it to the pile ;) https://github.com/erikbern/ann-benchmarks https://github.com/erikbern/ann-benchmarks
- riyadparvez 7y agoYes, exactly! This seems like totally overblown title. It's akin to saying Google open sourced their key search tech Kubernetes, which is an open source rendition of Borg, where all the Google workloads run on top of.
- suyash 7y agolol - good point, foiled the Great Microsoft PR play
- danielcampos93 7y agoI work on the team that built this and many of our other ranking tech. I can answer any questions people have. Also shameless plug: using this tech we released some artificial search sessions as an exploratory dataset. https://github.com/dfcf93/MSMARCO/tree/master/ConversationlSearch https://github.com/dfcf93/MSMARCO/tree/master/ConversationlS...

- mv4 7y agoCool project! One of the challenging use cases mentioned in the description is people taking a picture and asking the search engine, 'What is this?'. Has this been solved? (it is a very hard problem if taken beyond simple object classification)
- danielcampos93 7y agoIn many ways yes. For images Instead of using some NLP parser and vectorization technique you vectorize the image and then do a similar lookup
- danielcampos93 7y agoIf you want to play with the tech there is a developer kit. https://www.bingvisualsearch.com/develop https://www.bingvisualsearch.com/develop
- mv4 7y agohow effective is it at identifying mysterious objects, the way it's crowdsourced on Reddit's "/Whatisthis"? (meaning, how big is the index?)
