Introducing the next wave of AI at Scale innovations in Bing

Bing users around the globe perform hundreds of millions of search queries every day. These queries are diverse in many ways, from the intent the users are seeking to fulfill, to the languages and regions where these queries are issued. To handle such a dynamic range of usage, AI models in Bing must continuously evolve and therefore Bing is the prime example of Microsoft AI at Scale.

This blog post introduces recent updates to Bing that are making use of the Microsoft Turing Natural Language Generation (T-NLG) model, as well as expanding the use of the Microsoft Turing Natural Language Representation (T-NLR) model in production. If you are interested in trying out the Turing NLR model for your own business scenarios you can sign up for our preview.

Bringing Natural Language Generation into Bing

In May, we outlined the use of AI models fine-tuned from the Turing Natural Language Representation model in different parts of Bing’s question answering and ranking systems. In the last year, there has been very exciting progress on Natural Language Generation, including training our very own T-NLG model, and the introduction of OpenAI’s GPT-3, trained with Microsoft Azure. Today we are excited to share how these advancements are enabling us to build better search experiences.Improving Autosuggest using Turing-NLG Next Phrase Prediction

Autosuggest (AS) improves the search experience by suggesting the most relevant completed queries matching the partial query entered by the user. The key objective of AS is to save users time and keystrokes by offering better and faster query completion. The most frequent search prefixes are usually handled by suggestions that leverage previous queries issued by Bing users. However, as the user types more specific search terms (longer queries), the ability to generate suggestions on the fly becomes essential to overcome limitations of approaches based on previous queries.

Next Phrase Prediction is an AS feature that provides full phrase suggestions in real time for long queries. Before the introduction of Next Phrase Prediction, the approach for handling query suggestions for longer queries was limited to completing the current word being typed by the user. With Next Phrase Prediction, full phrase suggestions can be presented. Furthermore, because these suggestions are generated in real time, they are not limited to previously seen data or just the current word being typed. As a result, the coverage of AS completions increases considerably, improving the overall user experience significantly. The generative models are particularly challenging from an inferencing perspective due to – size of models and number of inferences required per query (one has to ideally run model inference per keystroke as the user is typing the query). We have introduced several innovations with respect to model compression, state caching, and hardware acceleration of these models to help delight our users cost efficiently.

Here are some examples that have suggestions that didn't before:

I DO NOT Want ChatGPT on my Taskbar or System - How do I STOP it?

Hi,

R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

After installing the update KB5022913 on Windows 11, you will notice that the search box now includes a Bing icon, indicating the new feature. The system also highlights the functionality inside the Search interface. However, when you type a question in the search box, you won’t get the answer in the fly out. Instead, Microsoft Edge will open in the Bing Chat experience. So, this is only a shortcut to the chatbot on the web, and it’s not a modified version of the chatbot that will interact with your files and settings either.

If you don't want the Bing AI chatbot to appear on your Windows 11 Taskbar, you can follow these steps to remove it:

Right-click on the Taskbar and select "Taskbar settings."

Scroll down to the "Taskbar corner" section and click on "Taskbar behaviors."

Toggle off the switch next to "Taskbar chat icon."

The Bing AI chatbot should now disappear from your Taskbar.

If you change your mind later and want the Bing AI chatbot back on your Taskbar, simply repeat these steps and toggle the switch on again.

I hope it helps! if not help, you can try to remove KB KB5022913.

With my Best Regards,

R. Cord
