Talk to Books - Google AI tool

The emerging trend of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning are intensive topics in research. Artificial Intelligence which is known to implement intelligence of humans’ such as thinking like humans’ using machines like computers and robots. Machine learning evolved with the design and development of the algorithms to support artificial intelligence and makes the decision based on the data.

Google is well-known for search engine and many other applications. Everyone peeks into google to get any sort of information. To quest the material from millions of files or articles and to gather the important points it’s so painful. Thanks to Google that it has launched another provision to get the information from the millions of books available at our fingertips.

 Google launched two of its AI applications called it as semantic experiences one is “Talk to books”, ability to communicate with plenty of books in seconds using a machine learning algorithm and fetch the answers to any questions from the written text. It uses natural language understanding of different words and phrases.

 Mr. Ray Kurzweil, Director of Engineering at Google Research stated in his talk “With Talk to Books, we provide an entirely new way to explore books. You make a statement or ask a question, and the tool finds sentences in books that respond, with no dependence on keyword matching. In a sense you are talking to the books, getting responses which can help you determine if you’re interested in reading them or not,”

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has been "betting big" on advances in AI and machine learning. "AI is one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It's more profound than, I don't know, electricity or fire," The Verge quoted Pichai stated.

Talk to Books will also help people doing research as citations and such will become a lot easier. This platform can tackle any query you have, however insignificant or abstract it may be. Once you type a question into Talk to Books, the tool searches from over hundreds of books to find the ones that respond to your input. There are no predefined rules bounding the relationship between what you put in and the results you get. As the output a list of responses with the appropriate information in bold. It additionally gives us a glimpse of what future interfaces might look like as AI trained tools are sufficient to address any inquiry.

Google says that one might find books and passages that they didn't expect, or the reason a particular passage was highlighted might not be obvious. It points out that one benefit of this is that the tool may help people discover unexpected authors and titles, and surface books in a way that is fresh and innovative.

It’s a well-ordered and exceptional development, compared to the use of the web interface. Such as if asked “why is the sky blue?” and also you’ll get some of exclusive answers displayed in clear textual content, from various books sources, like, “the Rayleigh scattering of light by molecules within the surroundings gets stronger because the wavelength decreases.” but, as whereas by using widespread google search and having to click a link and analyse and read an article or go through the website, here the Talks to books tool does that work for you.

Google Research's other new website called “Semantris” offers word association games, basically tests your word association abilities as the same software that powers Talk to Books ranks and scores the words on-screen based on how well they correspond to the answers you input. For instance, if you’re given the word “school” at the top of a collection of 10 words, you might think to type “learning” as a response. Semantris will then rank the 10 words and give you points based on how well it thinks the semantic relationship between schools and learning.

 Talk to Books and Semantris are designed to test the software’s semantic understanding. However, a many of the Google products collect consumer information for the organization, which can help learn its innovation by giving it adequate human-review data on word connections and their potentials. Semantris web game also appears a similar case, yet in any case, the diversion is a fun method to test your own capacities and to perceive how well the product judges the relationship between words.
