Technology is continually evolving, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and transforming the way we live and work. One technology that has been particularly influential in recent years is artificial intelligence (AI). AI has made its way into various sectors, from healthcare to finance to transportation. One area where AI has had a significant impact is in the realm of AI powered Search Engines.

This article delves into the world of AI powered Search Engines, a technology that is revolutionizing the way we access information. At Choicy, we are at the forefront of this revolution, harnessing the power of AI to create AI powered Search Engines that improve the accuracy of traditional search models.

What is an AI Powered Search Engine?

At the most basic level, an AI Powered Search Engine is a search engine that uses artificial intelligence to improve the search process. The AI in these search engines can use a variety of algorithms to understand, learn, and predict user behavior, delivering more relevant and personalized search results.

Unlike traditional search engines that rely on keyword matching and link analysis, AI Powered Search Engines use technologies like machine learning and natural language processing to understand the context and intent behind a search query. This allows for more accurate, relevant, and personalized search results.

The Role of Embeddings in an AI powered Search Engine

A crucial technology in AI powered Search Engines is the use of embeddings. In the realm of machine learning, embeddings are a type of representation that allows words or phrases to be translated into vectors of real numbers. These vectors capture the semantic meaning of the words or phrases, allowing the algorithm to understand the context and relationships between different words.

In an AI powered Search Engine, embeddings allow the engine to understand the semantic meaning of search queries, even if the exact keywords are not present in the indexed content. For example, if a user searches for "green energy sources," an AI powered Search Engine using embeddings could return results related to "renewable energy," "solar power," or "wind energy," even if the exact phrase "green energy sources" is not present in the content. At Choicy, we leverage the power of embeddings in our AI powered Search Engines to bring a new level of accuracy and relevance to search results. Our custom algorithms use embeddings to understand the semantic relationships between words and phrases, allowing us to deliver more accurate and relevant search results.

Semantic Search and Its Role in eCommerce

A key feature of AI powered Search Engines is the ability to perform semantic search. Semantic search refers to the ability of a search engine to understand the intent and contextual meaning of a search query, rather than just focusing on matching keywords. Semantic search is particularly vital in the e-commerce space, where understanding the user's intent can make the difference between a successful sale and a missed opportunity. For example, if a user searches for "running shoes for flat feet," a traditional search engine might return results for all running shoes, regardless of whether they are suitable for flat feet. With semantic search, however, the search engine understands the user's specific need for shoes suitable for flat feet and provides more relevant results.

At Choicy, our AI powered Search Engines are designed to offer semantic search capabilities that provide more accurate and relevant results for users. By understanding the intent and context behind a search query, we can deliver results that are more likely to meet the user's needs and expectations. This can lead to higher conversion rates and increased customer satisfaction, making AI powered Search Engines a valuable tool for any ecommerce business. This is just the beginning of the journey into the world of AI powered Search Engines. As we delve deeper into the subject in future articles, we will explore other aspects of this technology, such as the use of the CLIP encoder published by OpenAI and how it is changing the game in the search engine landscape.

AI Image Search in eCommerce

Moving beyond the realm of text, the advent of AI image search unlocks a whole new dimension of possibilities in the eCommerce space. As the name suggests, an AI powered image search engine uses machine learning algorithms to analyze images and find similar items. It's like Google's reverse image search, but way more advanced and precise. In the eCommerce context, AI image search can be a game-changer. Imagine a customer sees a product they like, say, in a movie or on a passerby.

The customer snaps a picture, uploads it to your eCommerce platform equipped with an AI powered image search engine, and instantly views similar items from your inventory. This is the kind of seamless user experience AI image search aims to deliver, and it's only the beginning. An example of this could be in the fashion industry. A potential buyer sees a dress they like in a TV show. They simply take a screenshot, upload it to an eCommerce platform using an AI powered Search Engine, and voila!

The search engine shows similar dresses from their inventory. The buyer doesn't need to know the brand, style, or any other details, the AI does all the work.

Improving AI Search Engines: Customization

Having an AI powered Search Engine is a great start, but to truly unlock its potential, customization is key. The larger and more diverse your data, the better your AI powered Search Engine can perform. But it's not just about quantity, it's also about quality - and this is where customization comes into play. At Choicy, our approach to improving AI powered Search Engines is based on customization, leveraging our proprietary algorithm to enhance the accuracy of existing models. The idea here is to teach the AI to understand your data better, to make more accurate predictions, and to deliver more relevant search results.

Fine-tuning for Customized Models

One of the ways we achieve this is through fine-tuning. Fine-tuning is a process of adapting an existing AI model (that has been pre-trained on a large dataset) to a specific task. This involves adjusting the model's parameters to better fit the task at hand, enhancing its ability to understand and interpret your data.

For instance, if you're selling furniture, your AI powered Search Engine should understand terms related to furniture styles, brands, materials, and more. This is where fine-tuning comes in. By training the AI on your specific data - your product descriptions, customer reviews, and other relevant data - we can help it understand the nuances of your industry and deliver more relevant search results. But it's not just about understanding the data, it's also about understanding your customers.

By training the AI on your customer behavior data, we can help it understand your customers' search patterns, preferences, and buying habits. This way, your AI powered Search Engine can deliver more personalized and relevant search results, enhancing the overall user experience. The end result of this fine-tuning process is a customized model that understands your data, your industry, and your customers, leading to more accurate and relevant search results.
