Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, uses natural language processing (NLP) to identify voice patterns and pick up contextual cues. Thanks to this technology, intelligent assistants such as Siri facilitate everyday tasks such as shopping for specific products, making it quicker and easier.
The usefulness of this PLN solution has been widely recognized by users, with approximately 375 million monthly active in the US alone.
More and more everyday devices, such as light switches, cars, and food processors, are incorporating PLN-based technology. This phenomenon is a growing trend and promises to expand in the future.
‘We are entering a new era. Machine learning, speech recognition, and natural language understanding technologies are reaching a point of convergence. The result will be the advent of artificially intelligent assistants that will support us in all aspects of our lives.’ – Amy Stapleton, Analyst, Opus Research
Amazon
Amazon recognizes the business opportunities offered by natural language processing. Amazon Comprehend uses PLN solutions to extract information from textual documents.
This technology delivers analytics by recognizing languages, titles, key phrases, and other essential elements of texts, providing valuable insights.
Google
Google also uses PLN solutions to optimize its services. Its application, Google Translate, uses this technology to provide high-quality translation services worldwide.
Every day, Google Translate makes it easier for 500 million users to understand more than 100 languages, improving communication between people in different countries and overcoming language barriers. This ability to translate documents, catalogs, and technical manuals is crucial.
Google’s expertise in areas such as search, geographic information, image recognition, and natural language processing gives it significant potential to develop assistive technologies.
‘I believe we are at the forefront of this development, moving forward with great effort and getting closer to our goal.’ – Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google.
