Google has acquired Clever Sense, the developer of the Alfred Mobile Application, that offers services related to the providing of suggestions of nightclubs or discos, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, situated in close proximity with the help of ‘machine learning algorithms’ and ‘artificial intelligence’.

The Alfred application includes an Extraction Engine that has been developed inside the Clever Sense Platform. This Extraction Engine curates huge chunks of crawled data that are in an unstructured form by leveraging statistical machine learning, data mining algorithms and natural language processing. When a reading is done through the data, the Extraction learns about the concepts that offer description of physical items of the actual world. It is these conceptions that form the basis as far as the foundation of the Clever Sense Interest Graph is concerned. This Extraction Engine also leverages the interactions based on social aspects such as the ratings, likes and check- in’s to improve the Interest Graph. It also helps in the calculation of the similarities via the algorithms that are graph ...
... based by resorting to these interactions of social nature.

The technology of the Clever Sense would help Google to a great extent with its specific local recommendation abilities. Google is of the opinion that these recommendations or suggestions are an integral part of the popularity of the local products.

Clever Sense might also be a part of what is known as Google’s answer to Siri. Siri is just a technology used for understanding of the natural language. It might be one of the reasons as far as Clever Sense’ accepting of the terms and conditions of Google is concerned.

To quote, Babak Pahlavan, the CEO of Clever Sense, “This is an incredible opportunity for us and the team, and it’s amazing the way it’s happening.”

To quote Google, “The Clever Sense team is at the forefront of developing a recommendation engine that connects the online and offline worlds by delivering personal and sophisticated information to users at the right time, the right place and within the right context. By combining their technology and expertise with our team and products, we’ll be able to provide even more people with intelligent, personalized recommendations for places to eat, visit and discover.”

Thus it appears that Google would prefer to work in accordance with the skilled and experienced employees of Clever Sense to add to the technology feature of Alfred, other types of iterations apart from food iterations.
