To generate these groups, we use a variety of machine learning techniques, including BERT models, to examine the related articles and determine where one story ends, and another begins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the more visible visual makeover, searchers will also see important information, such as quotes and related opinion pieces, in the top stories carousel:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Google-has-started-using-BERT-to-generate-top-stories-in-the-SERPs-related-stories.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11219\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Google-has-started-using-BERT-to-generate-top-stories-in-the-SERPs-related-stories-518x1024.png\" alt=\"Google has started using BERT to generate top stories in the SERPs related stories\" width=\"474\" height=\"937\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of the updates mentioned in this article are already live for English speaking mobile device users in the United States.
