Semantic Index is the inverse of "I'm thinking of an animal"

Microsoft Copilot can be so responsive because it uses the semantic index. Understanding exactly what a semantic index is really difficult for my brain. Here's one way that it makes sense to me-- it's the “I’m thinking of an animal” game, but in reverse and scaled up:

The Semantic Index is a powerful tool that helps you find the information you need quickly and easily. It works by grouping the meaning of words and phrases to identify related concepts and topics. This the opposite of the “I’m thinking of an animal” game, where you use clues to narrow down the possibilities and identify the correct answer.

Just like the “I’m thinking of an animal” game, the Semantic Index is all about making connections and finding similarities and patterns. This game teaches the that a zebra does have black and white stripes, is a zoo animal, but does not meow, does not bark, and does not fly. These are all attributes that the index can use to help determine what is similar to a zebra.

Fortunately, the more the semantic index learns about zebras and elephants, cows, horses, donkeys, and rhinoceroses, and the more granular data points it finds. More data points let's it know better how zebras and horses, cats and kittens, or budgets and business plans are all related.

So the next time you’re playing the “I’m thinking of an animal” game, remember that it's conceptually similar to how the Semantic Index works... just bigger!
