The State of AI in Search

Jeff shares a report on the state of AI in enterprise search as he wraps 2017 with a whirlwind of speaking and learning.

Show Notes

This week, Jeff Fried lands after a whirlwind of speaking and learning to share his report on the state of AI in enterprise search as we wrap 2017. Developments in deep learning, ensemble and transfer learning are allowing savvy engineers to do things more efficiently and more clearly than ever before. There's still a disappointing lack of interoperability across platforms. Plus, the hype cycle is thriving, even as real, substantive development aims to catch up to it. Finally, are people giving up on SharePoint search? All that and more in this, our final show of the year. Happy holidays!
