Google now also answers to complex questions: Here are some examples

On Nov 18, 2015 236

It increases the level of ” intelligence ” of the algorithms of Google, with the mobile app that can now answer some complex questions.

Google Now will not be the most spectacular virtual assistant, but we believe it is among the most popular the most comprehensive and complex. This is thanks to the ranks of Google services, but also thanks to the constant work that Big G devotes continuously plumping the new features. Google Now can now also respond to complex questions, working more and more with the proper proportions as a human brain.

After the first steps in the voice search undertaken in 2008, Google released the Knowledge Graph in 2012. This made it possible to provide information on individual personalities, failing to understand the link between the words in the user’s request. Thanks to the feature Google Now can respond, questions like ” How old is Bill Gates? ” or ” What was invented by Leonardo da Vinci? “.

Through a new update algorithm’s Knowledge Graph, however, Google wants to give the service the ability to understand the meaning of questions just like a human being, of course within the limits of current technology. Now Google can break down such sentences and understand the comparative and superlative, or also can answer questions in relation to timing specified, releasing an answer to requests with complex combinations.

Google released a few examples of the new features and new answers that can provide. The report below:

What are the players the Mavericks higher?
What are the biggest cities in Texas?
What are the biggest cities in Iowa for a living?

New algorithms provide answers now also based on a historical context:

What was the population of Singapore in 1965?
What Taylor Swift songs recorded in 2014?
What was the rose of the Royals in 2013?

Finally, now Google Now also understands complex combinations with questions:

What are some of the films of the father of Seth Gabel?
What was the American people when he was born Bernie Sanders?
Who he was the American president when the Angels won the World Series?

Google admits that despite all the great improvements in the algorithm is likely that there are still inaccurate results or incorrect. The new search options are still being improved, and is likely to increase their effectiveness over time thanks to the technology of machine learning of Google. We tried new features quickly in other language, and the answers do not always have been properly provided, while in English, the feature is definitely the most reliable and well implemented, although there is always room for improvement.
