Announced in January 2019, beniculturalionline launched a national platform designed to promote cultural spaces, work opportunities, and cultural activities across Italy through an artificial-intelligence-powered search engine.
Platform and Search Technology
The platform aims to create a network connecting cultural activities with particular attention to sites of cultural production and distribution. The search engine uses machine learning to deliver increasingly detailed and personalized results based on user profiling. Registered users can enrich their profiles with information, which in turn trains the search engine to provide better results over time. The system presents information through text, multimedia content, and interactive maps, allowing the engine to intercept users’ genuine research needs and intentions.
Personalization and Content Management
Users create personal profiles that function as multimedia résumés, allowing cultural organizations to search for professional talent using the AI-based search engine. The artificial intelligence classifies results not only by user profiling and keyword relevance but also by reliability and authority of sources. The system uses user profile information as filters while simultaneously anticipating potential needs. By building a database of searches over time, the engine identifies topics requiring greater depth and verification, and can autonomously retrieve relevant information from accredited and trusted sources.
User-Generated Content
The platform accepts text, links, images, maps, videos, and interactive content on cultural events and historically or touristically significant locations. All users can contribute content, and the artificial intelligence recognizes the most interesting, reliable, and relevant contributions autonomously, giving them greater visibility and integration when appropriate.
