Questions about Natural language processing
Short answers, pulled from the story.
What happened during the Georgetown experiment in 1954?
Researchers conducted the Georgetown experiment in 1954 to achieve fully automatic translation of more than sixty Russian sentences into English. The authors claimed that within three or five years, machine translation would be a solved problem.
Who developed Word2vec and when was it created?
Tomáš Mikolov applied a simple recurrent neural network with a single hidden layer in 2010 while he was a PhD student at Brno University of Technology. He went on to develop Word2vec in the following years.
Which systems were used for natural language processing before the late 1980s?
Most natural language processing systems relied on complex sets of hand-written rules until the late 1980s. Systems like MARGIE from Schank in 1975 structured real-world information into computer-understandable data.
How does speech recognition handle coarticulation in natural speech?
In natural speech there are hardly any pauses between successive words. Sounds representing successive letters blend into each other in a process termed coarticulation.
