There are some ways to measure the relevance between an image and the
snippet, e.g. distance from the image to the snippet, and lexical similarity
between the image description and the snippet, just to name a few.
At the time being, we only select an image from the same document from which
the text snippet is extracted. Selecting an illustrating image from a set of
annotated images for the text snippet remains our future work.
We know this is the very first step, but we are working to improve it
incrementally.

This is pretty slick. How does the search decide which
image to use
for the search-result-snippits? Or rather, can you give us some more
details on the technical side of the search?

Hi folks,
We have just launched a new Wikipedia-based search engine -
http://www.seariki.com
The idea is to combine searching and browsing effectively. For
example, we
find paths from a category to top categories, and hopefully this makes
navigating through category hierarchy easier.
At this time, only English and Chinese are supported, but we are
working on
indexing more languages.
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks and happy holiday.
