Results from our Third-Party Partner project #AKASE are in!

What if a search engine could assess the quality of arguments?

The AKASE project team built an Argumentation Knowledge Graph based on 105 million web documents that were pulled from the #OpenWebIndex. The Knowledge Graph maps how arguments across the web support, attack, and rephrase each other.
The system identifies claims and premises, detects logical fallacies, and assesses argument quality automatically.

Gleichzeitig fällt die EU-Förderung für den Open Web Index weg, der eine wichtige Voraussetzung wäre für digitale Unabhängigkeit Europas von den wenigen Suchmaschinen, die einen konkurrenzfähigen Index haben: Google (USA), Bing (USA), Yandex (Russland) und Baidu (VR China).

Gerade auch anlässlich des Di.DAYs, der am ersten Sonntag jeden Monats stattfindet, wird viel über digitale Selbstbestimmung und Unabhängigkeit gesprochen. Das Projekt "Open Web Index" ist hierbei ein wichtiges Thema. Bei uns gibt es dazu einen neuen Blog-Artikel. https://suma-ev.de/di-day-auf-halber-strecke/

Ich hab als Mitglied des SUMA e.V. seit heute die Möglichkeit, die Alpha-Version der kommenden Suchmaschine #Nolm zu testen. Sie basiert auf dem #OWI (#OpenWebIndex), ich bin ziemlich gehypt.

Meine erste Suche war natürlich „OSR ttrpg“.

Happy new year! After an important year for the #OpenWebIndex we are looking forward to this new year where we finally can share our full plans for Nolm and SUMA-Kit.

Expect weekly posts on this account where we keep you up to date with what we're doing.

Ich benutze weiterhin @MetaGer (was ich mit meinen Mitgliedsgebühren für den SuMa-eV bezahle). Bald wird #Metager auch den #OpenWebIndex nutzen und damit die neue Suchmaschine #Nolm starten.

Update: Inzwischen kann man @nolm folgen. @phoefer schrieb heute, dass NoLM im zweiten Quartal online gehen könnte.

@[email protected] We are currently building up @nolm ( https://nolm.eu ) which has LLM-free results as its central goal. However it's still in its infancy and currently in internal alpha. I'd expect public access in Q2 this year. I'll be sure to spread the news then. PS: After losing our main source of funding we are still looking for more association members to sustainably cover our costs of running and developing Nolm, MetaGer and other projects. Using MetaGer helps too.

Lots of ideas being thrown around today for the future of the #openwebindex .
With the end of EU funding for this critical infrastructure we're meeting up to discuss how to carry on.

Did you know that the #OpenWebIndex pilot is currently based on over 1 Petabyte of raw data?

👉 This amount equals roughly over 1 billion books (assuming an average book contains about 300 pages and 100.000 words).

👉 In terms of songs, 1 Petabyte amounts to approximately 250 million MP3s (calculating with 4 MB per song file).

You can find more OWI stats directly via the OWI Dashboard: https://openwebindex.eu/
