Natural Language Processing Supporting Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Natural language processing technology is considered to be essential to achieving artificial intelligence (AI) that can substitute for humans in certain roles.Most robots and AI systems that appear in fiction are equipped with a natural language interface, and it is expected that clever AI will learn on its own from encyclopedias, news reports, and other textual sources.Exactly what kinds of AI functions will be achieved through natural language processing technology?This article introduces the role that natural language processing technology can be expected to play in achieving AI.
