Sql Saturday 111 Atlanta applied enterprise semantic mining
SQL Server 2012 introduces new semantic search capabilities that leverage its existing full text search. Semantic search builds semantic indexes in two phases, first creating a tag index and then a document similarity index. It can currently support indexing documents in 15 languages. The presentation provides details on how semantic search works and its performance, which scales linearly with document collection size. It also demonstrates how semantic search can help reduce the challenges of building applications with both structured and unstructured data.

- 36. Abstract SQL Server2012 debuts a new Semantic Platform (commonly known as the applied task, Semantic Search). This text mining technology leverages the already established Full Text Index, and builds semantic indexes in a two-phase process. This presentation provides a science description and demo for the Enterprise implementation of Tag Index and Document Similarity Index. At present (RTM), the indexes work for 15 languages. Included are strategy tips for how to best leverage the technology along with already-existing Microsoft text mining and data mining.
