Segalovich praises Nigma.ru

In mid-May, Nigma launched a new technology, InfoSearch, which extracts structured information from sites. Now they have also introduced the possibility of grouping such information.

They say that the algorithm can work with any structured information. But while nigma is testing, so you can see it in the work only on the example of searching through books.


The system also learned how to automatically select literature on specific genres, titles, etc.


Judging by the comment of the technical director of Yandex, they are also going to do this. And maybe they are already engaged.

Ilya Segalovich, CTO of Yandex: “I am terribly pleased with what Nigma has been doing lately. General-purpose search engines are clearly not working enough to extract structured data. It’s good that there are independent search teams showing how you can help search engine users in a new way. ”

This is probably the next step in the development of search technology. Not just a contextual search, but the structuring and grouping of the information found. I think it is necessary to follow the development of this thing.
