AIは情報検索を向上できるか?

概要

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently proved to accelerate research in many diverse domains. Information Search can benefit from developments in AI in many different ways, such as diversifying the way of search by voice and image, enriching the scenarios of search by incorporating cognitive computing functions. Our research aims at supporting users' search under unfamiliar domains and mitigate the gap between users' knowledge domain and search domain by leveraging novel AI techniques, so as to enhance the performance of information search.

産業界への展開例・適用分野

Our research is generic and can be applied to many scenarios, such as,
1. Searching for temporal counterpart across different time periods (e.g., Walkman is 1980s' iPod)
2. Searching for spatial counterpart across different geographical spaces (e.g., tofu is the cheese of Asia)
3. Searching for corresponding relationships across domain (e.g., Skytree in Tokyo is similar to Empire State Building in New York)
4. Query-by-region search mode (e.g., pointing out a square in a map and to find the corresponding one in another geographical space)
These applications can be utilized in Q&A system, recommendation system, knowledge base enrichment etc.
