What's this blog post about?

Search intent is a crucial aspect of providing an excellent user experience in the digital world. Neural network-based search technology helps decipher search intent by understanding the context of words and connected ideas, improving search relevance. There are multiple types of artificial neural networks, each with its unique applications such as feed-forward neural networks for linear processing, recurrent neural networks for reprocessing outputs, convolutional neural networks for pattern recognition, deconvolutional neural networks for identifying discarded information, modular neural networks for ensemble learning, and transformers for complex tasks like language processing. AI is increasingly being used in ecommerce search to improve software's comprehension of consumer needs and preferences.
