Natural Language Processing: Crash Course AI #7

So far in this series, we’ve mostly focused on how AI can interpret images, but one of the most common ways we interact with computers is through language – we type questions into search engines, use our smart assistants like Siri and Alexa to set alarms and check the weather, and communicate across language barriers with the help of Google Translate. Today, we’re going to talk about Natural Language Processing, or NLP, show you some strategies computers can use to better understand language like distributional semantics, and then we’ll introduce you to a type of neural network called a Recurrent Neural Network or RNN to build sentences.
