New spelling algorithm to reduce misspellings in Google Search
One in 10 queries on Google Search are
misspelled and the tech giant has now introduced a new spelling algorithm that
uses a deep neural net to significantly improve the ability to decipher
misspellings, in under three milliseconds.
According to Google, this single algorithm makes a greater
improvement to spelling than all of its improvements over the last five years.
The
company on Thursday detailed how artificial intelligence (AI) is powering its
Search engine, announcing numerous improvements made to Search over the year
and some new features coming soon.
Google has invested
deeply in language understanding research and last year, it introduced how BERT
language understanding systems are helping to deliver more relevant results in Google Search.
"We're
excited to share that BERT is now used in almost every query in English,
helping you get higher quality results for your questions," said Prabhakar
Raghavan, Senior Vice President, Search and Assistant, Geo, Ads, Commerce,
Payments & NBU.
