Rad Paluszak: Content vs SERPs The Search Initiative Rank Brain is an artificial intelligence system, the use of which was confirmed by Google on 26 October 2015. It helps Google to process search results and provide more relevant search results for users. If Rank Brain 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 results accordingly, making it more effective at handling never- before-seen search queries or keywords.

Rad Paluszak: Content vs SERPs The Search Initiative Neural Matching N a t u r a l L a n g u a g e P r o c e s s i n g Neural matching is an artificial intelligence based system that Google began using in 2018 primarily to understand how words are related to concepts. It is kind of “like a super-synonym system”. Neural matching helps them better relate words to searches. • RankBrain helps Google better relate pages to concepts. • Neural matching helps Google better relate words to searches.

Slide 44

Slide 44 text

Rad Paluszak: Content vs SERPs The Search Initiative Neural Matching N a t u r a l L a n g u a g e P r o c e s s i n g For example, neural matching helps Google understand that a search for "why does my TV look strange" is related to the concept of "the soap opera effect." The algorithm can then return pages about the soap opera effect, even if the exact words aren't used. • RankBrain helps Google better relate pages to concepts. • Neural matching helps Google better relate words to searches.

Rad Paluszak: Content vs SERPs The Search Initiative BERT N a t u r a l L a n g u a g e P r o c e s s i n g BERT is Google’s neural network-based technique for natural language processing (NLP) pre-training. BERT stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. It was opened-sourced last year and written about in more detail on the Google AI blog. In short, BERT can help computers understand language a bit more like humans do. Google said BERT helps better understand the nuances and context of words in searches and better match those queries with more relevant results. It is also used for featured snippets.
