the question
Allow the search engine-AI to ask a question when it does not understand. | |
Everyone knows what something means to them. Putting that same knowledge into the collective knowledge base is a totally different ball game. For a start personal spelling may be off or, maybe, the meaning is slightly orthogonal to the collective meaning.
What would it take for Wikipedia to ask a
question for disambiguation? The simple AI builds a matrix of possible disambiguations, spelling and meaning and then artificially builds a question to collapse the ask to a single solution.
Wala, the collective tells you how wrong you fully held conceptions were.

Somewhere I wrote this idea a few years ago and even tried
to raise money for developing it... |
|
| |
Never had one of these phones so I may have this wrong (& I
may just not understand the idea of course) but doesn't Siri
already do this? |
|
| |
They might have exaggerated what Siri does for comedy
value.. but I'm sure I remember exchanges like that
in the Big Bang with Koothrappali when he got a new
phone with Siri. |

You: "Siri where can I buy flowers at four in the morning" |
|
| |
Siri: "What type of flowers would you like" |
|
| |
That sort of thing right? |
|
| |
Found one [link]. Was that what you meant? |
|
| |
Wolfram|Alpha has a similar feature: if you type in
something ambiguous, it gives you a popup menu between
the search box and the results where you can choose other
interpretations of each ambiguous term in your query. |

ELIZA has been asking questions since 1966, though not for
this purpose (or any meaningful purpose). |

//ELIZA has been asking questions since 1966// |
|
| |
Yes but Eliza doesn't really use algorithms to construct
questions it just uses a data base with look up tables &
defaults to something like "I didn't understand that can you
rephrase it" when it hits anything it's developers didn't
anticipate. |
|
| |
Come to think of it that might be all Siri does too. |
|
| |
Yup, thinking about it (now), that's probably all Siri is, just
a standard old school chat bot with voice recognition & a
web search call up function bolted on that defaults to
asking if you want a web search for anything the developers
didn't anticipate. |
|
| |
Hmm.. on another note, the more I reread this idea the less
sure I am I know what the idea is, so I
think I'll just ignore this one from now on. |
|
| |
I need this. It would save me time. |

Doesn’t Wikipedia do that now? Like if I were to type in
“Chevys” it would ask me to click on one of two choices;
the car or the restaurant. |

^ What about Chase? I tell ya that guy doesn't get near the respect he deserves. |

I suppose a HTML disambiguation page is a type of question but I am thinking more like a simplified Watson. The engine is trying to calculate the specific knowledge wanted and display it. |
|
| |
If the computing system, with multiple query answers, can design the question well enough it should give a definite indication of information wanted. And if it is really clever it even might increase the intelligence of the quester. |
|
| |
Then again, if the searcher knows the engine then they will know the correct grammar and wording. |
