SMARTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE ENGINEER

So far, RankBrain is living up to its AI hype. Google search engineers, who spend their days crafting the algorithms that underpin the search software, were asked to eyeball some pages and guess which they thought Google's search engine technology would rank on top. While the humans guessed correctly 70 per cent of the time, RankBrain had an 80 per cent success rate.

    Isn't the more interesting part that Google themselves can't tell which pages should rank better?

    The computer isn't smarter it just has better/faster access to data.

    I have a 1980's Texas Instrument calculator that's better at math than I am. I haven't asked HAL to open the pod bay doors yet.




    RankBrain uses artificial intelligence to embed vast amounts of written language into mathematical entities - called vectors - that the computer can understand. If RankBrain sees a word or phrase it isn't familiar with, the machine can make a guess as to what words or phrases might have a similar meaning and filter the result accordingly, making it more effective at handling never-before-seen search queries.
    Wow, they invented synonyms in 2015 & checking keyword categories on a database for similar keyword definitions.
