Google Has a New AI That Understands English. And Its Name is 'Parsey McParseface'

How machines deal with comprehending human languages is called Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and revolutionary changes in this technology have given us the many virtual assistants we have today. However, NLU still has many obstacles to go through due to the ambiguous nature of the countless languages all over the world. Now, Google claims they're cutting through these difficulties as they announced the open sourcing of a neural network software developed with TensorFlow, SyntaxNet, together with…Parsey McParseface, apparently an English parser. Parsing, in linguistics, is the breaking down of sentences into their component parts to define what each part means. Experts assert that this is a first key component in NLU systems.
