Words That End In Sea

Natural language processing: is this the end of the written word?

The end of the written word?
The film Her imagined how shut language processing could become to man intelligence

To some the Spike Jonze flick Her was excruciating, to others it was a glimpse into the time to come, just imagine if the moving-picture show'south personal assistant Samantha had suddenly uttered to Theodore: "Sad, I didn't take hold of that?" It would have killed the romance expressionless.

Siri and Google Now'south conversational styles are nowhere near Samantha'due south, simply their development is function of a motility that is threatening to eclipse the written word. Our handwriting has never been worse, typing on a keyboard is starting time to feel archaic and fifty-fifty constantly tapping out text letters and web search terms is probable to bring on finger cramps and sore hands.

With iOS devices at present allowing the sending of vox letters and predictions for self-driving cars and voice-activated doors, lights and elevators (cue the internet of things), it'southward clear that the futurity will be spoken, non written.

The engineering behind this shift in how we interact with our environment is natural language processing, a technology that enables computers to understand the significant of our words and recognise the habits of our speech communication.

Where will we come across natural language processing first?

As well as Siri and Google Now, you may already accept used it on the Xbox 1 and the Samsung UE65HU8500

but so far voice recognition has revolved around a very pocket-size list of phrases and words. A proper conversation this is not. "Magic words have caused these technologies to rely on structured menu systems in which voice command but replaces traditional inputs," says Charles Dawes, Global Strategic Accounts Managing director at Rovi. "These do not provide a satisfactory feel, forcing users to learn how to talk to the device and causing speech to become stilted and unnatural."

Automatic spoken communication recognition systems on TVs have so far relied on congenital-in microphones that could be some way from the viewer, though mosts are moving to apps. "The prevalence of smartphones and tablets offers operators the opportunity to sidestep this upshot past enabling search and recommendations for the Tv via the 2nd screen," says Dawes. "The evolution of these devices has boomed, and the processing ability offered by most on the market provides an ample base of operations upon which to build conversation capabilities."

But at that place are many other places we're already seeing tongue engines used. Barclays Wealth uses it to verify an account holder, airline JetBlue is using intelligent vox advertising, and Ford is using natural language for drivers to command in-auto systems such as the phone, music, temperature, navigation and traffic updates.

How does natural language processing work?

One time it's recognised what someone has said, it's and so all about context, and disambiguating similar terms. "A viewer could say 'what time is the Urban center game on tonight?', and vocalization technology would have to make a conclusion nearly the context – football game – and the preference of the user based on their history. Exercise they back up Norwich Metropolis or Manchester City?" says Dawes. "The technology must also be able to deal with sudden changes. For example, it must recognise that if the same viewer so asks 'are there any thrillers on tonight?' they are searching outside the context of sports."
