NVIDIA Achieves Breakthroughs in Language Understanding to Enable Real-Time Conversational AI

NVIDIA today announced breakthroughs in language understanding that allow businesses to engage more naturally with customers using real-time conversational AI. NVIDIA's AI platform is the first to train one of the most advanced AI language models -- BERT -- in less than an hour and complete AI inference in just over 2 milliseconds. This groundbreaking level of performance makes it possible for developers to use state-of-the-art language understanding for large-scale applications they can make available to hundreds of millions of consumers worldwide. Early adopters of NVIDIA's performance advances include Microsoft and some of the world's most innovative startups, which are harnessing NVIDIA's platform to develop highly intuitive, immediately responsive language-based services for their customers. Limited conversational AI services have existed for several years.
