How Google uses logic in machine learning
Google’s end goal is to use technology to provide users with a better experience. They don’t want to automate the entire process if that means the user won’t have the experience they are looking for.
So don’t assume machine learning will soon take over all search ranking; it is simply a small piece of the puzzle search engines have implemented to hopefully make our lives easier.

Just like its organic search results, Google wants to provide the most relevant ads for its individual users. According to Google U.S. patents on ad quality, machine learning can be used to improve an “otherwise weak statistical model.”
This means that Ad Rank can be influenced by a machine...

Capable of autonomously learning and solving problems, general AI (AGI) takes machine learning to the next level.
This AI is powered by deep learning processes designed to mirror the human brain’s neural networks, allowing the algorithm to make decisions without instruction.

While companies like OpenAI and Conversion.ai are moving toward developing general AI for natural language processing, there are currently no clear-cut examples of AGI.
To progress from ANI to AGI, deep learning will be the key to creating stronger AI capable of using deductive reasoning to...

People don’t always speak like a machine would expect them to. We play with language to come up with new turns of phrases.
BERT is designed to replicate human recognition as closely as possible to decode those contextual nuances by learning how users interact with the conte...

Every second, approximately 1087 photos are uploaded to Instagram, and 4000 are uploaded to Facebook. That’s hundreds of millions of photos being uploaded to those two social networks alone every day.
Analyzing and cataloging that many submissions would be an arduous (if not impossible) tas...

Back in 2016, Google declared its intention to become a “machine learning first” company. Since then, they’ve made steady strides toward that goal, launching Google AI in 2017 and rolling out BERT in 2019.
They want to not only make our lives easier but also use AI to find “new ways of look...

This type of AI is designed to perform specialized tasks that must be “taught” to the algorithm (think Google’s search algorithms).
While extremely specialized in scope, narrow AI (ANI) is able to quickly recognize patterns and perform tasks in a way that outpaces human ability.

There are many reasons to fire up a search engine. Users may be searching to buy (transactional), research (informational), or find resources (navigational) for any given search.
By analyzing click patterns and the content type that users engage with (e.g., CTRs by content type) a s...

At the moment, artificial superintelligence (ASI) still lands fully in the category of science fiction.
This type of AI would, theoretically, be capable of outperforming human capabilities to solve the “unsolvable” problems of our time.

While machine learning isn’t (and probably never will be) perfect, the more humans interact with it, the more accurate and “smarter” it will get.
This could be alarming to some, creating visions of Skynet from the “Terminator” movies.
