It is unlikely many of our readers use the Bing search engine as the main source of searched information. Certainly there are such people, but they are the vast minority. The greater part of the users preferring such engines like Google and “Yandex”. Microsoft, however, does not give up, and Bing is constantly developing, introducing new features. For example, it became known yesterday that he will now actively use artificial intelligence to information retrieval.
The event, which took place yesterday in San Francisco, officials of Microsoft announced that Bing will now actively use the potential of advanced artificial intelligence in the processing of a search query. For example, when he will answer the question, we will find the answer on several websites and then choose the most popular option. If the answers diverge, Bing will try to give the user a choice of the most popular versions so he can choose the option that best suited him.
The answers to the queries will now be presented in the most accessible and understandable form that the person was comfortable to read them. Themselves Microsoft employees gave an example: instead of answering that the area of Syria is 71 489 square miles, Bing will compare its size with the American state of Florida. Of course, so-so analogy, but representatives of Microsoft, of course, know better. They insist that do not want to bore people with numbers, but instead to offer them more obvious answer that they’ll be able to understand.
The search engine will also improve your skills in the field of comparison of different concepts and phenomena. Want to know the difference between Pilates and yoga? No problem. Bing details to sort through the pros and cons of these two systems of exercise in the most accessible form. In addition, the search engine will begin to ask leading questions to clarify what specifically interested user. Well, the most important achievement of our engineers think Microsoft new search images. Bing has learned to recognize objects in photos and to look for them online. For example, a girl wants a handbag like a movie star – the search engine processes the photos with the red carpet, and immediately will be given a product name and a link to the store.
Microsoft also announced its collaboration with the popular forum Reddit. Now Bing will be able to search for information among millions of topics for this resource and provide search results to users. You can search among even very popular in recent interview AMA (Ask Me Anything) when a Reddit ask any questions coming to the forum celebrities. In addition to Bing, the benefits of artificial intelligence will have voice assistant Cortana and the office Suite Office 365. All of the above will be available to users in the next month.
