Infusing Your Search Results with the Power of NLP and Semantic Knowledge

We’ve all had that frustrating experience of trying to search for something and not finding the results we are after. By building systems that leverage NLP, we can infuse our systems with semantic knowledge and minimize this frustration for end users of our systems.

Free-text search can be limiting, requiring us to search using the exact set of keywords that have been indexed. To go beyond simple text matching requires an understanding of both the search intent and the semantic meaning of the words being searched.

In this session we will explore:
- How knowledge graphs can be used to represent semantic relationships
- How ontologies can be used to infer additional knowledge from the graph
- How natural language processing techniques can be applied to understanding search intent
- How a knowledge graph can be combined with traditional text search indices
