What You Need to Know about Google's RankBrain In an interview with Bloomberg late in October, Google senior research scientist Greg Corrado revealed that a machine-learning artificial intelligence system called RankBrain is helping them process the billions of search queries they receive every day. This isn't really surprising since many people know that Google has been interested in AI for years and has even provided funding for its development. But, if you're an SEO marketer or a business owner, you need to know what RankBrain really is all about and how it will affect you or your clients. What does RankBrain do? RankBrain helps Google by interpreting ambiguous search queries that the algorithm isn't really familiar with. It converts large amounts of written information into vectors, which are mathematical data that …show more content…
Unlike other parts of the algorithm (which are still dependent on human effort), RankBrain can learn to see connections between seemingly unrelated terms and apply this learning to future searches — all by itself. Is RankBrain really that important? RankBrain isn't a replacement for Google's search algorithm (which is called Hummingbird). Rather, as Corrado pointed out, it's only “one of the hundreds” of ranking factors that make up the algorithm. However, Google's senior research scientist admitted that the artificial intelligence system plays a huge role in day-to-day search processing and in fact handles a “very large fraction” of the queries they receive. Corrado also mentioned to Bloomberg that RankBrain has become the third-most important ranking factor. This has stirred a lot of curiosity since it's probably the first time that Google has specified exactly how important a certain ranking factor is. However, the search engine giant outlined precisely how RankBrain can help websites increase their rankings, although many SEO experts have expressed their theories. How will this new system affect
When I found out I qualified to be a candidate for the NJHS, I knew I had to take this chance. This group is made up of people who depict leadership, character, citizenship, academic success, and service and I would love to join. These characteristics wouldn't just be valuable for a candidate to have, but for everyone to have to exceed in life. If I were to be in the National Junior Honor Society, it would give me an opportunity to ameliorate my future and motivate me to do better.
In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.
Spirituals: African American spirituals are a key contribution to the creation of the initial genre of jazz. African Americans used spirituals during the earliest turmoil of slavery. These spirituals were used as songs to sing during labor and an initial way of communication for the Underground Railroad. These African American folk sounds mixed with gospel hymns were sun fused with instruments such as the harmonicas, banjos, and other instruments that could primarily be found. This initial form of the music started to separate itself from the gospel rendition. This mixture of different styles of music fused and gave birth to such things as minstrel shows, ragtime, and other forms of music. The most important that spirituals truly helped develop, was Jazz. Spirituals were the first true form of Negro expression in the form of music. Marshall W. Steams, Professor of English Literature at Hunter College states that “The spiritual was created out of nowhere by a sort of spontaneous combustion of Negro’s genius” (125). This mixture of hymns and instrumental instruction took form into one of the most versatile genres known to date, Jazz.
Utilitarianism is a normative moral theory put forward by John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham developed in the 19th century. The moral theory of utilitarianism specifies what makes an action morally correct. Right actions are those that achieve greatest happiness for greatest number. Similarly, hedonistic utilitarianism states that the morally best action is the one that maximizes happiness and minimizes pain. This paper will further discuss the influential issue brought up by act utilitarianism and hedonism; furthermore, it will explore the matter about the experience machine and lastly, I will be taking a stand against the objection of the experience machine.
The theme death has always played a crucial role in literature. Death surrounds us and our everyday life, something that we must adapt and accept. Whether it's on television or newspaper, you'll probably hear about the death of an individual or even a group. Most people have their own ideas and attitude towards it, but many consider this to be a tragic event due to many reasons. For those who suffered greatly from despair, living their life miserably and hopelessly, it could actually be a relief to them. Death affects not only you, but also those around you, while some people may stay unaffected depending on how they perceive it.
, in which they “[expected] that advertising funded research engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers” (Brin and Page). This completely contradicts Google’s first and second principles, “do what’s best for the user” and “provide the most relevant answers as quickly as possible”. The truth is, Google makes most of their income on adverstising and has acquired many companies in order to become a titan in that industry, and with Google’s unignorable control in the search market, it is to no surprise that the company has used its influence to be more biased towards things that would increase its wealth. Brin and Page are not the only ones with this mindset; it turns out that VP Marissa Mayer, former executive and key spokesperson for Google, has confessed during a Seattle Conference on Scalability that “...
Honor is….hook. On October 9 2012, an honorable young girl fought for her rights and the rights of others, only to be met with a bullet to her head; this girl’s name is Malala Yousafzai. There are few people in the world with this much honor and good moral. Honor is shown when people act with integrity, taking matters into their own hands to make a good change in the world. Culture affects honor because it causes people to see the world through different aspects (views) , but people still stand up for what they believe in, whether it is on their lifestyle, education, or religion. While Seikei depicts honor by following the samurai code of conduct in Medieval Japan, Winston Churchill’s acts of optimism during the 20th century, and Malala’s courage to fight for what she believes in all the way in Pakistan display honor.

Search engines are not very complex in the way that they work. Each search engine sends out spiders to bots into web space going from link to link identifying all pages that it can. After the spiders get to a web page they generally index all the words on that page that are publicly available pages at the site. They then store this information into their databases and when you run a search it matches they key words you searched with the words on the page that the spider indexed. However when you are searching the web using a search engine, you are not searching the entire web as it is presently. You are looking at what the spiders indexed in the past.
First of all, where does the word “Google” come from? The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol,” which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. It found its way to the English language, now the verb "Google", was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning, "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet." Their search engine was originally nicknamed "BackRub" because the system checked back links to estimate a site's importance. /// The start of Google was pretty much like the start of every website. It was a research project to these two Ph.D. Students where they hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better ranking of results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page. It was first related to the university’s domain, but then the traffic was so heavy that the university asked them to move their website to a domain outside the university. What made Google this popular was the speed it pulls out information, which is counted in parts of seconds. And also, the size of their data base, according to the instructor of our instructor in MIS class only 60% of data you found on Google are in other web search engines.
