Naver launches conversation-enabled search engine service Knowledge Interactive South Korea’s internet juggernaut Naver Corp. announced Friday it launched a conversational search engine service dubbed ‘Knowledge Interactive.'The new service was built using the company’s own hyperscale artificial intelligence called HyperClova and the AiRSearch technology released on Oct. 28 last year. This is how the conversational search engine works.A user might ask: “Tyrannosaurus, what are your favorite foods?” The Knowledge Interactive could answer: “I usually eat plant-eating dinosaurs. In fact, you can find my teeth marks in the bones of many herbivorous dinosaurs. “Naver said that whereas existing chatbots answer questions by memorizing a set amount of answers, “The Knowledge Interactive can engage in Q&As in a broader scope because its model does more than just learning from a given set of answers.”The Knowledge Interactive identifies the intention behind a user’s questions and finds the appropriate answers from verified sources. It will then extract the supporting documents and phrases and launch its own investigation to make sure the findings are indeed relevant to the questions. The engine will provide the supporting evidence as reference data to allow the user to refer to them and explore further. HyperCLOVA is Naver's native hyperscale AI
Naver was also able to visualize the search results as three-dimensional models. After searching for a tyrannosaurus and ordering it to “walk” or “run,” the resulting image will do the motions as told. There is also the function to take a deeper look at the results through Augmented Reality technology and communicate with the life-like imagery. The Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province-based company will begin with providing such services vis-a-vis a number of popular dinosaurs and gradually expand it to encompass other results. Dustin Hyun, who leads the search engine arm of Naver said, “We hope to bring color to the current search engine experience with the all-new AI-powered Knowledge Interactive.”By Joo-Wan Kimkjwan@hankyung.comJee Abbey Lee edited this article.
