Reviving phonetic algorithms for better search relevance
Pietro Mele, Radu Pop
Fuzzy search is a double-edged sword: it fixes typos but drowns users in noise on large corpora. At INA, we revived ancient phonetic algorithms to improve relevance. This session compares fuzzy vs. phonetic search on a massive archive, showing how "sounding right" beats "spelling close."
