The Story Behind Mathematical Search Engine Symbolab - The Next Web
Symbolab is a search engine that uses proprietary machine learning algorithms to provide relevant search results in the mathematical and scientific realm. The company aims to overcome the limitations of keyword search by using semantic search, which is important for mathematical and scientific expressions. Symbolab recently closed a $500,000 investment round led by a group of investors in Israel and London. The companys business model includes enterprise search, digital library services, and a publicly available web search engine. Symbolab also plans to build an ad network to monetize its platform.
