As CEO of Realtor Profiler, I recently spoke at the Google I/O 2017 conference to 800+ bright techies.
I discussed the impact Natural Language Processing and Language Translation technologies will have on our ability to communicate. More specifically, I compared Vietnam's competitiveness and the possible impact it will have on it's ability to compete. Then I touched on a few case studies of NLP and Translation tech and how it is been applied, including our own experiences.
7. Natural Language Processing - Definition
Computers are starting to communicate
Natural Language Processing
(NLP) is “ability of machines to
understand and interpret
human language the way it is
written or spoken”.
It is a subset of Artificial
Intelligence.
Instead of specialized
languages such as Spanish,
Vietnamese, Ruby or Java,
there would only be "human."
