Originally released in mid-2016, Google Home has a growing number of integrations with many different types of services and products including music, video, news, weather, games and home automation. Updates are released frequently by Google ‘over the air’ and install transparently, adding new features and improvements to enhance the abilities of the Home device. Several different Google Home devices are available including the original unit (simply ‘Google Home’), a smaller version called the ‘Google Home Mini’, a larger ‘Google Home Max’ that focuses on excellent audio quality and models featuring screens, called ‘Google Smart Displays’. Google has designed the range to fit in in the home, not to look like technology showcases, with neutral colours, curved edges and neatly designed power cables. Each of the units offers a degree of customisation, either with multiple colour purchase options or removable coloured speaker mesh. The products are designed to compete with the Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Show from Amazon, which offer similar functionality but without the rich knowledge that comes from being powered by the world’s favourite search engine and its advanced ‘knowledge graph’. The original Google Home product has a touch sensitive panel on the top which is used to control volume, play and pause modes. Google’s signature coloured lights illuminate when the Google Home hears its wake word (‘Hey Google’ 8 Google Home Introducing… 9 Introducing… Google Home The Google Home Mini in particular is designed to sit unobtrusively amid the rest of your decor by default). Also on the top of the device are the two far-field microphones. Despite having fewer microphones than the six on the Amazon Echo, the Google Home is still great at hearing commands, even when music is playing or in a loud environment. Of course, in order for Google Home to respond to commands, it has to be always listening. A mute button is on the back of the device if you are concerned about privacy and you can review your Google Home’s activity online at the Google website at any time. The Google Home Mini comes at less than half the price of the full-size Google Home, but still packs a punch! The speaker is incredible for its size, easily outperforming the Echo Dot, but it won’t fill a room in quite the same way as the regular Home.

  • COMPUTER GURU Google Photos App for Android, Apple, And
    COMPUTER GURU By Don Benjamin Technology Lab Programs sponsored by: Novi Wealth Partners Google Photos App for Android, Apple, and Windows Last month I reviewed the Apple Photos app and explained how the photos on iPhones are synchronized with those on iPads and MacBook computers. This month’s article covers Google’s Photos app, which is available for Android and Apple mobile devices, as well as Windows and Apple MacBook computers. In other words—just about everything. Most Android phones include a photo manager called Gallery, where you store and view the pictures you’ve taken with your phone’s camera. 1 However, the Google Photos app (it’s free from the Google Play Store) offers better photo management features as well as free cloud storage to ensure your photos are backed up and available on your other devices (like your tablet and computer.) Google Photos lets you organize your pictures into albums and provides editing and special effect options. It also automatically uploads your photos Google Photos to its cloud server and keeps them synchronized, so if you delete a photo from your phone, it will also delete the photo from your Google Photos cloud file. works with Android But you can also opt to remove a photo from your phone and leave it on the and Apple smart Google Photos server. Neat! phones and tablets, and Windows and Google Photos can also identify objects in your snapshots and create panoramas by knitting the separate pictures of Mac computers. the adjacent scenes you captured. But wait—there’s more! Google provides free unlimited storage on its cloud servers if you’re willing to limit the size of each picture you upload to 16 million pixels (which Google calls “high quality”).

  • SEKI@Home, Or Crowdsourcing an Open Knowledge Graph
    SEKI@home, or Crowdsourcing an Open Knowledge Graph Thomas Steiner1? and Stefan Mirea2 1 Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Department LSI, Barcelona, Spain [email protected] 2 Computer Science, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany [email protected] Abstract. In May 2012, the Web search engine Google has introduced the so-called Knowledge Graph, a graph that understands real-world en- tities and their relationships to one another. It currently contains more than 500 million objects, as well as more than 3.5 billion facts about and relationships between these different objects. Soon after its announce- ment, people started to ask for a programmatic method to access the data in the Knowledge Graph, however, as of today, Google does not provide one. With SEKI@home, which stands for Search for Embedded Knowledge Items,weproposeabrowserextension-basedapproachtocrowdsource the task of populating a data store to build an Open Knowledge Graph. As people with the extension installed search on Google.com, the ex- tension sends extracted anonymous Knowledge Graph facts from Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) to a centralized, publicly accessible triple store, and thus over time creates a SPARQL-queryable Open Knowledge Graph. We have implemented and made available a prototype browser extension tailored to the Google Knowledge Graph, however, note that the concept of SEKI@home is generalizable for other knowledge bases. 1Introduction 1.1 The Google Knowledge Graph With the introduction of the Knowledge Graph, the search engine Google has made a significant paradigm shift towards “things, not strings” [7], as a post on the official Google blog states. Entities covered by the Knowledge Graph include landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, movies, celestial objects, works of art, and more.

  • Google's Knowledge Graph
    Google’s Knowledge Graph Google has just announced that it will completely reshape the presentation of its search results. Instead of listing websites where people can find the answer to their queries, it will present data, links, pictures, etc. from its own databases, some 500 million “items”. The redesign is said to represent the biggest change in search for the last five years, not just conceptually but also in terms of business impact. The goal, of course, is to make sure that web surfers remain on Google properties instead of clicking away to another site for answers. Internet companies all over the world already complain and regulators can add the move to their list of Google features to investigate from an antitrust perspective. The announcement is also a subtle tactical move, just one day before Facebook’s IPO. It reinforces Google’s positioning as the owner of the “knowledge network” as opposed to the “social network”. It is hard to anticipate what the new ‘product’ will really be but there are a few important pointers. First, it will make connections between the different information elements. At the moment, search provides a list of sources but does not really categorize them. Knowledge Graph will and may even link the sources to one another. People (not least Tim Berners-Lee) have always argued for the, so called ‘semantic web’ to replace the traditional web. Google’s Knowledge Graph is a fine approximation of the idea. Another aspect of the service will, hopefully, have to do with formatting. We may get a more standardized presentation of the information, which is quite important for rapid processing.

  • Summarized by © Lakhasly.Com Real-Time Data Feeds Although It
    Real-time Data Feeds Although it doesn’t promote itself as such, Google is actually a collection of data and a set of tools for working with it. It has progressed from an index of web pages to a central hub for real-time data feeds on just about anything that can be measured such as weather reports, travel reports, stock market and shares, shopping suggestions, travel suggestions, and several other things. Sorting Tools Big Data analysis which implies utilizing tools intended to deal with and comprehend this massive data becomes an integral factor whenever users carry out a search query. The Google’s algorithms run complex calculations intended to match the questions that user entered with all the available data. It will try to determine whether the user is searching for news, people, facts or statistics, and retrieve the data from the appropriate feed. Knowledge Graph Pages Google Knowledge Graph is a tool or database which collects all the data and facts about people, places and things along with proper differentiation and relationship between them. It is then later used by Google in solving our queries with useful answers. Google knowledge graph is user-centric and it provides them with useful relevant information quickly and easily. Literal & Semantic search The main aim of the literal search engine is to find the root of your search phrase by looking for a match for some of the word or entire phrase. The root of the phrase is then examined and explored upon to display better search results. While semantic search engine tries to understand the context of the phrase by analyzing the terms and language in knowledge graph database to directly answer a question with specific information.
