Fact extraction technology marks certain letters for Mail users - tickets, meeting messages, information about discounts - so that they can be found immediately at the right time. Disco recommendation technology helps Music and Market users to choose a song that suits their mood, or the right product from a variety of similar ones. To search for similar images, Yandex uses its developments in the field of computer vision. In 2011, we launched a machine translation service - one of three similar ones around the world.In order for services and technologies to function, Yandex maintains the largest network of data processing and storage centers in Russia - tens of thousands of servers.
