What Time is it at Google Headquarters什么时候是它在Google总部

自然语言查询

It is 10h45 GMT on November 8, 2007 as I type the first draft of this post, but you probably aren’t reading it till much later.这是10h45格林威治标准时间对2007年11月8日作为I型的第一稿这个职位,但是您可能不读它,直至晚得多。 It is not that it is going to take me that long to write a publishable version, it is just that the subject matter Cambridge company这并不是说,这是会采取我认为,只要写一发布的版本,它只是说,此事剑桥公司 True Knowledge真正的知识 may be more relevant to a wider audience further down the line.可能更为相关的更广泛的观众进一步下降的路线。

Anyway at the time of writing the company had just released a limited private beta test of its natural language search engine.无论如何,在当时的写作,该公司刚刚公布了一项有限的私人测试版的测试,其自然语言的搜索引擎。 What’s natural language?什么的自然语言? I hear some of you ask, others are way ahead and thinking “Google Buster!!!”.我听到你们当中有些人问,别人前进的道路和思想的“ Google炸弹!!!". Well, a natural language query is more akin to what real people ask each other when they want to find information rather than the stilted, often Boolean based, questions we usually ask of search engines.以及,自然语言查询,是更接近什么真正的人问对方时,他们要寻找的资料,而非棚屋,往往是基于布尔问题,我们通常会问的搜索引擎。

So, for instance, “What time is it at Google headquarters?” whereas “time AND google AND headquarters” would be something like a typical Boolean query you might use in advanced mode in a search engine.因此,举例来说, “什么时候是它在Google总部? ” ,而“时间和Google和总部”有点象一个典型的布尔查询,您可能会使用先进的模式在搜索引擎。 The latter takes time to construct, you might need to do something like this “time AND (google OR yahoo) AND headquarters NOT uk” for example, whereas a natural language query would simple be “What time is it at google or yahoo headquarters outside the UK?”后者需要时间来建设,您可能需要做一些事情是这样的“时间和( Google或Yahoo )和总部没有英国”举例来说,而自然语言查询,将简单的是“什么时候是它在Google或Yahoo总部外英国“ ?

You get the idea.你的想法。 Hopefully, True Language will enter public beta fairly soon so you can test it yourself, but at the time of writing, most users are stuck with a few nifty screenshots and some explanation of how natural language queries work and how the system comes up with the most likely answer to that pressing question and a form to fill if they want to get recruited for the private beta.我们希望,真正的语言将进入公开测试版,很快便使您可以测试自己,但在时间的写作,大多数用户是坚持与几个漂亮的画面和一些解释如何自然语言查询工作,以及如何系统与最有可能的答案即迫切的问题和形式,以填补,如果他们希望得到招聘私人测试版。

The video below reveals some of the possibilities of True Language’s technology.影片揭示了下面的一些可能性,真正的语言的技术。

Oh, by the way, at the time of writing, it’s 01h45 PDT on November 8 at Googleplex, Silicon Valley, but not for long.哦,所的方式,在当时的写作,它的01h45太平洋夏令时间11月8日在googleplex ,硅谷,但不长久。

    At the search engine level, this kind of natural language parsing is a formidable challenge.在搜索引擎的水平,这种自然语言解析,是一项艰巨的挑战。 Not something for the faint of heart ..不是为微弱的心.. or a PHP developer, like myself!或一个PHP开发人员,像我一样!

    If I have to write a search tool for the web applications I develop, I often opt for a cheap & cheerful natural language search engine.如果我有写一个搜索工具,为Web应用程序的i发展,我常常选择一种廉价&开朗的自然语言搜索引擎。

    So for example, the client can search for: “all Bookings by WayneSmallman from 11/2/2005 to 11/12/2007″, which is grabbed and then filtered by a battery of regular expressions, which then pull up the appropriate class methods to generate the search results.因此,举例来说,用户端可以搜索: “所有预订由waynesmallman从2005年11月2日至2007年11月12日” ,这是抓住和过滤,然后由一个电池的正则表达式,然后拉起适当的类方法产生的搜索结果。

    It’s worth the effort because the power you’re handing to your clients is massive.它的价值的努力,因为您的权力移交给您的客户是巨大的。

    However, even relatively simple queries like “when is the next high tide in Maui” are probably out of my league…不过,即使是相对简单的查询,例如: “当是下一个高潮在茂宜岛的”很可能是出于我的联盟…
