Deep Learning for Search

Part 1. Search meets deep learning

Setting up search engines to effectively react to users’ needs isn’t an easy task. Traditionally, many manual tweaks and adjustments had to be made to a search engine’s internals to get it to work decently on a real collection of data. On the other hand, deep neural networks are very good at learning useful information about vast amounts of data. In this first part of the book, we’ll start looking into how a search engine can be used in conjunction with a neural network to get around some common limitations and provide users with a better search experience.
