• There is a stronger focus on mobile today, where people dictate their queries into Google, rather than type them.
• More searches are conducted on a mobile device in 10 countries including US and Japan.
• Searchers use full question sentence structures as their search queries. E.g. what, why, where, who, when, how
• Google uses Knowledge Graph, Voice Search and Google Now to provide an intelligent hive of knowledge.
THE NEAR FUTURE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Source: KeywordDiscovery.com, August, 2015
• Google “Daily Information Needs” annual study asks a sample number of subjects which questions they want to have answered (questions currently not entered into Google). These questions are categorized and prioritized for future search projects.
What questions are your customers not asking Google yet?
• Most of the web’s data such as documents and images are “unstructured”, so using AI will make it useful.
• Google’s “Deep Learning” experiments use “neural nets”, modelled on the way biological brains learn, incorporating speech recognition, vision and language, capable of projects like “neural image caption generator” (NIC). E.g. a learning system able to identify concepts in images and apply captions using natural language sentences.
