Could IBM Shake up the Search Engine World?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the slow-approach-then-wham-wham-wham dept.

overshoot writes "IBM has just tossed a bucket of chum into the whole search showdown, which Microsoft thought was between them and Google. Apparently, IBM Research has developed a 'key facts' search technology (as distinct from 'key words') over the last several years. Now they're going public with it -- by putting it on SourceForge under an OSS license!" (According to the article, it's expected to show up on SourceForge by the end of this year, not immediately.)

    I've been getting once a day connections on my server from ibm for quite some time now (a year or so). Doesn't surprise me in the least. :)

      Definitely read/skim the SDK User's Guide http://dl.alphaworks.ibm.com/technologies/uima/UIM A_SDK_Users_Guide_Reference.pdf

      The annotator premise is almost too simple; it's brilliant.
