Topic

AI, Bots, and Search

Abstract

With artificial intelligence (AI) and bots factoring heavily on the minds of many enterprises, common sense about providing quality information access within the enterprise can often get lost in the hype cycle. What AI and machine learning techniques are ready for the enterprise? Are bots just another input mechanism for enterprise search or are they a paradigm shift in how users ask questions? Ingersoll presents use cases on where machine learning and bot technology shine, where the trusty ol' search box still reigns, and how the three can be effectively combined into a modern search Architecture.
