If there\u2019s one thing that learned about Google Search over the 15 years, it\u2019s that the curiosity of people is endless. Everyday, we see billions of searches, and 15 percent of those queries are those that we haven\u2019t seen before\u2014 so we\u2019ve built ways to return results for queries that we can\u2019t expect. Google BERT Algorithm Update is the latest one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When people like you or I come to search, the best way to formulate a query is not always quite certain. We may not know the right words to use, or how to spell it, because we often come to search for learning\u2014 we don\u2019t really have the expertise to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search is about&nbsp;language understanding at its core. It is our job to find out what you are looking for and to surface useful web-based data, regardless of how you spell or combine the terms in your question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While over the years we have continued to improve our ability to understand language, sometimes we still don\u2019t get it right, especially with complex or conversational queries. In fact, that\u2019s one of the reasons people often use \u201ckeyword-ease,\u201d typing strings of words they think we\u2019re going to understand, but they\u2019re not actually asking a question naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our research team\u2019s latest advances in language understanding \u2014 made possible by machine learning \u2014 we are making a significant improvement in how we understand queries, representing the biggest leap forward in the past five years, and one of the biggest leaps forward in Search history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, we introduced and open-sourced a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Natural_language_processing\">natural language processing (NLP)<\/a>&nbsp;neural network-based pre-training technique called Transformer Bidirectional Encoder Representations, or as we call it\u2014 BERT, for short. This&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/digitaledenz.com\/blog\/aa\/technology\/\">technology<\/a>&nbsp;allows anyone to train their own state-of \u2013 the-art answering system for questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This breakthrough was the result of Google\u2019s transformer research: models that process words in a sentence rather than one-by-one in order in relation to all the other words. Therefore, BERT models can consider the full context of a word by looking at the words that come before and after it \u2014 especially useful for understanding the purpose behind search queries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Nov 2019 Google released a major update in BERT algorithm.
