Description
<p>Analytical research shows that around 93 percent of all online experiences begin with search. And, this happens because users rarely know what they want! A large proportion may have an idea but search is almost always required - to guide users, to show them what they are looking for and how to retrieve this.</p>
<p><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> how do you search for information? Have you ever enclosed a search term within quotation marks to prompt the search engine to search for that specific word or phrase, or used Boolean commands? And, what happens to a query once it enters the search bar? Where does it go and how do we end up with the information we retrieve?</p>
<p>In this episode: <strong>Behind the Search Bar - Question Answering</strong>,<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenhawkerzafer/"> Lauren Hawker Zafer</a> speaks to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-diggelmann-97a78972/">Thomas Diggelmann</a> about<strong> search</strong>, <strong>the end of search</strong> and the kind of technical journey that our search queries go on. As well as this, Thomas introduces <strong>Question Answering</strong> - the computer science discipline within the field of information retrieval and Natural Language Processing. </p>
