Natural Language Understanding Is the Future of A.I. Voice Recognition

With the advent of Amazon's Alexa and Siri's consistent capacity to take on more chores (and get more and more sassy), many are wondering: what's next for natural language understanding and conversational voice interfaces? There are several companies neck-and-neck in this race. There's Wit.ai, the company Facebook acquired -- you can toy around with demo. Apple has its HomeKit and, with it, is doing what Apple does best -- kicking ass. One company hot on the trail of natural language understanding is MindMeld. MindMeld provides its natural language understanding capabilities to other companies that are looking to add intelligent voice interfaces to their products, services, or devices.
