Profile
Yandex is a technology company. Our services are based on complex, unique, difficult-to-replicate technologies. They allow us to do what some time ago people would have taken for magic.
Almost all Yandex services use machine learning - for ranking in search, displaying ads, and machine translation. In 2009 Yandex developed and implemented its own machine learning method - Matrixnet.
Thanks to speech recognition technology, Yandex.Navigator users can communicate with it by voice, rather than typing the address by hand. Fact extraction technology marks certain letters for Mail users - tickets, meeting messages, information about discounts - so that they can be found immediately at the right time. Disco recommendation technology helps Music and Market users to choose a song that suits their mood, or the right product from a variety of similar ones. To search for similar images, Yandex uses its developments in the field of computer vision. In 2011, we launched a machine translation service - one of three similar ones around the world.
In order for services and technologies to function, Yandex maintains the largest network of data processing and storage centers in Russia - tens of thousands of servers. Computational capabilities and algorithms of Yandex are also used by our partners to conduct their scientific research, for example, in the field of nuclear research and geological exploration.
