Natural language processing with machine learning

There have been numerous examples over the last two decades of how Natural Language Processing, or NLP, is being used by companies to provide an intelligent voice to gadgets and searches. Think, for instance, how the world of search engines--from Yahoo, Microsoft and Google--have changed the Internet with text-based search algorithms driving and augmenting the World Wide Web. NLP, though, does much more than just that and text analytics. NLP exploration on our current digital planet includes voice searches on automobiles and then, of course, the dictation mechanics of the software world. I have an 18-month-old who thrives on YouTube searches asking for'Peppa Pig' or'Mickey Mouse' series while my 5-year-old is exploring the world of content on YouTube (of course, with restricted parental control)--from watching the world of KungFu Panda to how to make dummy videos.
