Google released hummingbird, and it is cool for structured data, but what about unstructured data? That's where http://samuru.com http://samuru.com is looking to change the way people search.
We read a tech crunch article that said humming bird was going to answer all our questions using NLP. It didn't seem to do that, so we said, "let's take the afternoon and put the ability to answer questions in to our search engine."
We did that. Here is the slightly unpolished Alpha of the feature.
Ask some questions like:
Why are kittens cute
Why are barns red
Why are gas prices so expensive
Should I buy a house
It won't answer everything, but it will answer a lot.

- drakaal 13y agoYou can't argue with that logic. :-)
- matiasb 13y agoI like the project, would be nice to see what can be done in the future!
- drakaal 13y agoThis is pretty early stage. Minimum viable product for a search engine is a big task. Minimum viable product for a system that mines unstructured data is even bigger. But I think we have a good start.
