Agentic search engines—such as Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT Search no longer means “type keywords, get ten blue links.” AI Search experience capable of understanding tasks, planning queries, calling tools, and synthesizing results and deliver a conversational response with inline citations, minimizing user effort.  In this post, I’ll walk through the stack from bottom to top, how it crawls and indexes pages, how it retrieves and ranks information, and how recent features like RAG and Agentic search build upon these foundations.

Demystifying Agentic Search Engines

Building Modern Recommendation Systems introduces a comprehensive, end-to-end pipeline that drives intelligent recommendations. The post walks through the full machine learning workflow — from raw data preparation and feature engineering to model training, deployment, real-time inference, and system monitoring. 

Modern Recommendation System Infrastructure

This post explores the full RecSys architecture, emphasizing the core models that drive each stage of the RecSys pipeline — from Retrieval for large-scale candidate generation, to Pre-ranking for efficient filtering, Ranking for fine-grained relevance modeling, and Re-ranking for balancing diversity and control.

对话系统：从人机交流走向理解与互动

Binary search is an efficient searching technique based on the divide-and-conquer principle. By repeatedly narrowing the search space, it guarantees a worst-case time complexity of O(log n). It is well-suited for sorted data, monotonic arrays, and optimization problems where the goal is to find the best value. Common use cases include exact matching, boundary and insertion point searches, finding the closest element, and performing binary search on the answer space. 

Shrinking the Search Space with Binary Search

The two-pointer technique is essential for optimizing operations on arrays, strings, and lists, often reducing time complexity from O(n²) to O(n). Common patterns include opposing pointers, sliding windows, fast–slow pointers, and dual-input pointers—each suited to different problem types such as finding pairs, subarrays, or merging sorted lists.

Topological Sorting Explained: Sorting Dependency Chains

Prefix search is a fundamental operation in computer science, typically implemented using a Trie (prefix tree). A Trie is a dynamic data structure for storing a collection of strings, supporting efficient insertion, lookup, and enumeration operations. Tries and their variants provide a powerful and efficient way to manage and query large volumes of string data.

Breadth-First Search: Level-Order Exploration

Recursion is a core computational concept where a problem is solved by calling itself on smaller instances. Recursion is key to many algorithms: DFS (Depth-First Search) is often implemented recursively, Dynamic Programming is fundamentally recursion with caching (memoization), and Divide & Conquer uses recursion to split problems into independent subproblems.

小时候，我们的情绪很简单也很直接：
开心就大笑，难过就大哭，不爽了会皱着眉说一句“我不开心”。
那时我们不会拐弯抹角，也不担心别人怎么看。
可随着年龄增长，一切好像悄悄变了。

为什么越长大越难说出真实感受
