Understanding Semantic Search
Semantic search is a revolutionary approach to information retrieval. Unlike traditional keyword-based searches, it focuses on the *meaning* and context of a query, understanding the user's intent rather than simply matching words.
This allows for more accurate and relevant results, even if the user doesn't use the exact terminology.
Key concepts include:
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Utilizing techniques to understand and interpret human language.
- Knowledge Graphs: Connecting entities and their relationships to provide a richer understanding of concepts.
- Machine Learning: Employing algorithms to learn and adapt to user behavior.
