Subtopic of natural language processing in artificial intelligence
| This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: lack of discussion of recent developments related to large language models, but also no mention of older techniques like word embedding or word2vec. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (February 2024) |
Natural language understanding (NLU) or natural language interpretation (NLI)[1] is a subset of natural language processing in artificial intelligence that deals with machine reading comprehension. NLU has been considered an AI-hard problem.[2]
There is considerable commercial interest in the field because of its application to automated reasoning,[3] machine translation,[4] question answering,[5] news-gathering, text categorization, voice-activation, archiving, and large-scale content analysis.
