I always though about Google and other search engines talk about the quantities of hits you search for simple thing and you get at least 1,000,000 plus hits which users only browse the first 2 pages if they lucky not because they found what they want but because they didn’t and they want to refine their search ..

This brings me back to the Semantic Web and the tagging system using xml , results well be many not as current but more precise and more detailed..

Read the interview with the brain behind Hakia.com..

Profy: These are fascinating innovations; can you give a simple example of how this works?

Dr. Berkan: Sure, take a system like Google uses, and ask the math to decompose the sentence structure of a sentence with say 10 words. The result would be hundreds of queries resulting in no active data sets. Trying to break down a 10 word sentence with mathematics would produce billions of permutations. However, a person would break that same sentence down into perhaps 5 or 6 permutations. QDEX combined with the SemanticRank Algorithm bridges that huge gap and produces far fewer permutations.

I just did a little search on Hakia and glad to know That I am on it , it is very detailed and catergorized excellent application its a brand new web people

Background information

hakia is an Internet search engine, currently in beta testing. It is based on newly developed QDEX (Query Detection and Extraction) technology, an alternative infrastructure to indexing that uses SemanticRank algorithm, a solution mix from the disciplines of ontological semantics, fuzzy logic, computational linguistics, and mathematics.

hakia, Inc. was founded in 2004 by Dr. Riza Berkan, a nuclear scientist by training with a specialization in artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic, and Dr. Pentti Kouri, a New York-based economist and venture capitalist. Professor Victor Raskin, a father of ontological semantics and a noted international authority in the field of computational linguistics, serves as hakia’s scientific advisor.

The company is privately held and based in New York City. Members of its board include former Senator Bill Bradley, Dr. Pentti Kouri, Dr. Riza C. Berkan, Ryszard Krauze, Anuj Mathur, Murat Vargi and John Grzymala. hakia has raised $16 million from private equity investors.
