About gDay™ technology

The core technology that powers gDay™ is MATE™ (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation).

Using MATE’s™ machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques developed in Google’s Sydney offices, we can construct elements of the future.

Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now.

We can use this technique to predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow’s share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they’re written!

To rank these future pages in order of relevance, gDay™ uses a statistical extrapolation of a page’s future PageRank, called SageRank.

gDay™ and MATE™ were developed in Google’s Sydney R&D centre. Click here to apply for a job

Welcome to Google Australia’s April Fool’s Day joke

As you may have guessed, gDay™ and MATE™ are not real technologies.
No, we can’t guess tomorrow’s lotto numbers or football scores.

So, now that you know, here’s what you can do:

* Send the joke to a friend you think will fall for it
* Make searching (today’s) web easier by personalising your Google page or installing the Google Toolbar
