Azure Cognitive Search

Azure Cognitive Search (ACS) is a cloud-based search service aiming to improve the relevance and efficiency of information retrieval. Current research focuses on optimizing ACS configurations, often employing Bayesian optimization or other hyperparameter tuning techniques to maximize metrics like click-through rates. This work is significant because it addresses a key challenge in search technology—delivering highly relevant results—and has direct implications for improving the user experience in various online applications, such as e-commerce and document management. Furthermore, research explores integrating ACS into broader cognitive systems, including those for robotics and the emerging "Cognitive Internet," highlighting its role in advanced information processing and decision-making.
