Sogou browser opens a new era of knowledge computing

Today, sogou announced on its official microblog that in order to make it easier for users to obtain information, sogou search released its new knowledge base search engine, "zhicube ". This is the first Knowledge Base search product in the Chinese search engine industry.

For example, if you search for "Zhang Xueyou's movie", sogou's search will show all the films that Zhang Xueyou participated in. On the right side, it will show Zhang Xueyou's relationship, TV series, albums, and other related information, this helps you better understand Zhang Xueyou.

For example, if you search for "Fan Bingbing's height", a general search engine will provide many pages containing "Fan Bingbing's height". You need to click to find the answer one by one. Sogou zhicube can directly give accurate answers.

To provide answers directly, in addition to the support of a structured mass data knowledge base, semantic understanding is also an important part. With years of experience in natural language processing technology, sogou can intelligently understand Users' Query intentions and give accurate answers.

According to Ru liyun, general manager of sogou Search Division, sogou zhicube has been secretly R & D for more than a year, while the architect responsible for the product R & D has been engaged in research in related fields since his Ph.D. Currently, the Knowledge-cube knowledge base covers hundreds of millions of entities, and the relationships between entities reach a billion level. In the future, it will gradually be applied online.

According to Ru liyun, sogou zhicube has the following advantages over previous search results:

1. more accurate. Zhicube can intelligently analyze Users' Query intentions and directly give users' desired answers based on reasoning and computing capabilities.

2. More authoritative. By analyzing and mining the entire web page, zhicube ensures the accuracy of the knowledge base data and provides more authoritative answers than the products that know the knowledge.

3. More comprehensive. Knowledge cube provides a complete knowledge system, allowing users to better understand knowledge points and discover many things they do not know. For example, if you search for "Li Na", you can find that there are not only well-known singers and tennis players, but also actors, fencing athletes and diving athletes.

According to industry insiders, the launch of sogou zhicube represents a successful exploration of domestic search engines in the knowledge base field. It was a "Semantic Web" launched since 2001, the first successful application in the domestic search engine industry. The core mechanism of search engines has not changed substantially over the past decade. sogou's successful breakthrough will soon be followed up and imitated by mainstream search engines in China.
