The proposed model uses a deep attention mechanism\u00a0<strong>at word, sentence, and document levels<\/strong>, for efficient retrieval for both factoid and non-factoid queries, on documents of varied lengths.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the word-level cross-attention allows the model to identify words that might be most relevant for a query, and the hierarchical attention at sentence and document levels allows it to do effective retrieval on both long and short documents.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302109 b-lazy pcimg b-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/word-level-matching.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/word-level-matching.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/word-level-matching-480x340.png 480w\" alt=\"Google Content Algorithms and Ranking Effects\" width=\"600\" height=\"425\" \/>It\u2019s an interesting paper to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what the Healthcare Question Answering paper says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201c2.2 Neural Information Retrieval<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the success of deep neural networks in learning feature representation of text data, several neural ranking architectures have been proposed for text document search.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026while the model proposed in [22] uses the last state outputs of LSTM encoders as the query and document features. Both these models then use cosine similarity between query and document representations, to compute their relevance.<\/p>\n<p>However, in majority of the cases in document retrieval, it is observed that the relevant text for a query is very short piece of text from the document.

We can never know for sure because that\u2019s not the level of information that Google reveals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Google_Mean_by_Neural_Matching\"><\/span>What Does Google Mean by Neural Matching?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the Reddit AMA, Gary Illyes\u00a0described RankBrain\u00a0as a\u00a0<em>PR Sexy<\/em>\u00a0ranking component. \u00a0The \u201cPR Sexy\u201d part of his description implies that the name was given to the technology for reasons having to do with being descriptive and catchy and less to do with what it actually does.<\/p>\n<p>The term RankBrain does not communicate what the technology is or does.\u00a0 If we search around for a \u201cRankBrain\u201d patent, we\u2019re not going to find it.\u00a0That may be because, as Gary said, it\u2019s just a PR Sexy name.<\/p>\n<p>I searched around at the time of the official Neural Matching announcement for patents and research tied to Google with those explicit words in them and did not find any.<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026 what I did was to use Danny\u2019s description of it to find likely candidates. And it so happened that ten days earlier I had come across a likely candidate and had started writing an article about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deep Relevance Ranking using Enhanced Document-Query Interactions<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nPDF<br \/>\n<\/strong>http:\/\/www2.aueb.gr\/users\/ion\/docs\/emnlp2018.pdf<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview<br \/>\n<\/strong>https:\/\/ai.google\/research\/pubs\/pub47324<\/p>\n<p><strong>And I wrote this about that algorithm:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAlthough this algorithm research is relatively new, it improves on a revolutionary deep neural network method for accomplishing a task known as Document Relevance Ranking. This method is also known as Ad-hoc Retrieval.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>In order to understand that, I needed to first research Document Relevance Ranking (DRR), as well as Ad-hoc Retrieval, because the new research is built upon that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ad-hoc Retrieval<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDocument relevance ranking, also known as ad-hoc retrieval\u2026 is the task of ranking documents from a large collection using the query and the text of each document only.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That explains what Ad-hoc Retrieval is. But does not explain what DRR Using Enhanced Document-Query Interactions is.<\/p>\n<p><b>Connection to Synonyms<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Deep Relevance Ranking Using Enhanced Document-Query Interactions is connected to synonyms, a feature of Neural Matching that Danny Sullivan described as like super-synonyms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what the research paper describes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn the interaction based paradigm, explicit encodings between pairs of queries and documents are induced<strong>.

It may be worth considering that Neural Matching may be a comprised of a variety of algorithms and that the term Neural Matching is a name given to describe a group of algorithms working together.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Takeaways\"><\/span><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Synonym Spam<\/strong><br \/>\nI cringed a little when Danny mentioned synonyms because I imagined that some SEOs might be encouraged to begin seeding their pages with synonyms.\u00a0 I believe it\u2019s important to note that Danny said \u201clike\u201d a super-synonym system.<\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t take that to mean seeding a page with synonyms. The patents and research papers above are far more sophisticated than simple-minded synonym spamming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on Words, Sentences and Paragraphs<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother takeaway from those patents is that they describe a way to assign topical meaning at three different levels of a web page.\u00a0 Natural writers can sometimes write fast and communicate a core meaning that sticks to the topic.\u00a0 That talent comes with extensive experience.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone has that talent or experience. So for the rest of us, including myself, I believe it pays to carefully plan and write content and learn to be focused.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long-form versus Long-form Content<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m not saying that Google prefers long-form content. I am only pointing out that many of these new research papers discussed in this article are focused on better understanding long form content by understand what the topic of those words, sentences and paragraphs mean.<\/p>\n<p>So if you experience a ranking drop, it may be useful to review the winners and the losers and see if there is evidence of flux that might be related to long-form or short-form content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Google_Dance\"><\/span>The Google Dance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google used to update it\u2019s search engine once a month with new data and sometimes new algorithms. The monthly ranking changes was what we called the Google Dance.<\/p>\n<p>Google now refreshes it\u2019s index on a daily basis (what\u2019s known as a rolling update).\u00a0 Several times a year Google updates the algorithms in a way that usually represents an improvement to how Google understands search queries and content. These research papers are typical of those kinds of improvements. So it\u2019s important to know about them so as to not be fooled by red herrings and implausible hypotheses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Via: https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-content-algorithms\/302009\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d50145.52267239351!2d-96.06936521284837!3d41.216982725960186!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x87938ed36a1aa437%3A0xcf1197a1903faa69!2sPetersen%20%26%20Michelsen%20Hardware%20or%20P%20%26%20M%20Hardware%2C%20South%2024th%20Street%2C%20Omaha%2C%20Nebraska!3m2!1d41.20914!2d-95.947463!4m5!1s0x87938c3d0c92fcb1%3A0x98cf112f2e9fe028!2s5223%20Grover%20St%2C%20Omaha%2C%20NE%2068106!3m2!1d41.2266913!2d-95.99608579999999!5e0!3m2!1sfil!2sus!4v1653581593916!5m2!1sfil!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The way to get more hunt traffic isn&#8217;t just about structuring more connections or including increasingly content.

After leaving a CFO role at a seven\u2011figure nonprofit, I built my first online business and hit #1 in AOL search within weeks\u2014then clients started asking me to replicate those results for them. Since then, I\u2019ve helped businesses turn WordPress sites into high\u2011performing assets through technical SEO, site architecture, speed, and content strategy, and I\u2019ve built and sold a WordPress site after growing it to 1,000+ organic keyword rankings. Today I own or co\u2011own multiple city\u2011based SEO properties that compete at the top in tough U.S. markets, and I now offer AI SEO so brands can show up in Google results and AI\u2011generated answers.
