Definition
Semantic Search regroups a set of techniques designed to improve traditional document or knowledge base search. Semantic Search aims at better grasping the context and the semantics of the user query and/or of the indexed content by leveraging natural language processing, Semantic Web, and machine learning techniques to retrieve more relevant results from a search engine.
Overview
Semantic Search is an umbrella term regrouping various techniques for retrieving more relevant content from a search engine. Traditional search techniques focus on ranking documents based on a set of keywords appearing both in the user’s query and in the indexed content. Semantic Search, instead, attempts to better grasp the semantics (i.e., meaning) and the context of the user query and/or of the indexed content in order to retrieve more meaningful results.
Semantic Search techniques can be broadly categorized into two main groups depending on the target content:
techniques improving the relevance...
