The Next Generation Internet Search Engine?
Sobha Renaissance Information Technology (SRIT) today announced the launch of iCognue, its much awaited internet search engine powered by LMai (Latent Metonymical Analysis and Indexing), an algorithm for deriving the contextual relationship for a search topic.
The algorithm was globally announced and filed for an international patent last year. In simple terms, iCognue will pave way for search to transcend beyond keyword search, where results revolve around the larger context of the typed keyword and not only around the keyword.
Three principal aspects that set iCognue apart are:
* Most consistent, rich and accurate contextual internet search in the globe today
* Results derived through Unsupervised Machine Learning Techniques needing little or no human intervention, allowing the search engine to grow more and more intelligent automatically with the increase in the size of data indexed
* Search limited to Encyclopedia, Wikipedia and Healthcare for time being For instance, if a user types “Mental Health” as the keyword, the best search engines available on the internet today will provide results limited to the keyword, and display the right pages associated with the keyword, ranked in an order, which ensures that more pertinent pages figure earlier or in the first page of the search result. However, they would largely fail in those instances where the user is searching for a slightly complicated term like “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” but does not remember the word and only knows that it is related to “Mental Health”. In such a scenario, the search engines available today will not help the user in understanding the ‘Mental Health’ to be related to ‘Obsessive Compulsive Disorder’, and provide the user the means to expand their search in arriving at the required search topic through contextual relationships.
Syed Yasin, Inventor-LMai and Principal Architect- Search Technologies observed, “While we were very positive last year when we announced the algorithm and also showcased iCognue as a proof of concept for LMai, we learnt of subsequent challenges in the industry as our technology works on unstructured data (Internet) and the true potential of LMai would be visibly evident only when utilized live on the internet. It is a vindication of sort that we need to endure and go through. Personally I have learnt a lot on the business challenges for the search industry and feel the timing to go live on the internet is ripe today. We did not have so much knowledge of the industry last year.”

Another much hyped search engine technology which doesn’t deliver. Anything relating to wishy-washy AI technology powered search engine like this one will be doomed to fail.
