What is SMITH Algorithm?

SMITH algorithm is a name for a new model used by the Google search algorithm, for trying to understand entire documents where models such as BERT are trained to understand words within the context of sentences.

In a very simplified description, the SMITH model is trained to understand passages within the context of the entire document.

While algorithms like BERT are trained on data sets to predict randomly hidden words are from the context within sentences, the SMITH algorithm is trained to predict what the next block of sentences are.

This kind of training helps the algorithm understand larger documents better than the BERT algorithm, according to the researchers.
