Google announces new ‘Talk to Books’ semantic-search feature

“Google announced today, April 13, 2018, a new experimental publicly available technology called Talk to Books, which lets you ask questions in plain-English sentences to discover relevant information from more than 100,000 books, comprising 600 million sentences.

For example, if you ask, “Can AIs have consciousness?,” Talk to Books returns a list of books that include information on that specific question.

The new feature was developed by a team at Google Research headed by Ray Kurzweil, a Google director of engineering. As Kurzweil and associates note in a Google Research Blog post today, “With Talk to Books, we’re combining two powerful ideas: semantic search and a new way to discover books.”…”
