Management AI: Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Generation (NLG)

One of my biggest complaints about terminology in the industry is the claim that data from conversations is "unstructured data". After all, how do people communicate, either in voice or in a written language, if there was no structure that aids meaning? Syntax is the structure of language, and it clearly aids in defining semantics, or the meaning of the communications. To understand how computers are rapidly improving, it's important to look at how natural language is different from what computers have historically processed. From flat file sequential data storage models to relational databases (RDBMS), there is a decade's long history of rigidly structured data.
