Powerset Launches a Wikipedia Search Tool
Powerset launches their service with a Wikipedia Search tool. For a long time now Powerset has been ridiculously over hyped and has produced nothing, until now. As I mentioned the search engine is based around Wikipedia at present, but im sure will be moving into other sites in the near future. Powerset allows users to search via topic, phrase or question and it uses its own algorithm to work through key words and find the best matches. Powerset is first applying its natural language processing to search, aiming to improve the way we find information by unlocking the meaning encoded in ordinary human language.
For the last 6 months or more the word around the valley seems to be Semantic. Im simply just sick of hearing about semantic search and how it is going to change the search industry. It seems to be time now for some actual results, so can Powerset provide this?
