Answer Engine Optimization
AEO
A strategy for optimizing content so that brands and their content can be cited in the single answers generated by AI search systems or voice assistants.
A retrieval approach that combines traditional keyword-based lexical search, such as BM25, with vector search based on semantic similarity.
하이브리드 검색
Hybrid Search combines exact-word retrieval with semantic vector retrieval so that each compensates for the other’s weaknesses. Keyword search is effective for exact product codes and proper names, while vector search better handles meaning-based requests such as “good-value laptops.” Practical implementations commonly combine scores through weighted sums or merge rankings using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).
Combines lexical precision with semantic understanding to reduce missed results and improve accuracy.
Tune the weighting, often expressed as alpha, between lexical and vector scores, and consider RRF.
