Yandex Adds Deep Neural Net Algorithm
September 18, 2017
One of Google’s biggest rivals, at least in Asia, is Russian search engine Yandex and in efforts to keep themselves on top of search, Yandex added a new algorithm and a few other new upgrades. Neowin explains what the upgrades are in the article, “Yandex Rolls Out Korolev Neural Net Search Algorithm.” Yandex named its upgraded deep neural network search algorithm Korolev and they also added Yandex. Toloka new mass-scale crowdsources platform that feeds search results into MatrixNext.
Korolev was designed to handle long-tail queries in two new ways its predecessor Palekh could not. Korolev delves into a Web page’s entire content and also it can analyze documents a thousand times faster in real time. It is also designed to learn the more it is used, so accuracy will improve the more Korolev is used.
Korolev had an impressive release and namesake:
The new Korolev algorithm was announced at a Yandex event at the Moscow Planetarium. Korolev is of course named after the Soviet rocket engineer, Sergei Korolev, who oversaw the Sputnik project, 60 years ago, and the mission that saw Yuri Gagarin get to space. Yandex teleconferenced with Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazansky who are currently representing Russia on the International Space Station.
Yandex is improving its search engine results and services to keep on top of the industry and technology.
