Build apps with natural language processing
NLP is AI that speaks the language of your business.
What is natural language processing?
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a type of computational linguistics and a sub-field of artificial intelligence and computer science that parses human language into its elemental pieces, evaluates its meaning and resolves ambiguity. IBM Watson NLP leverages tokenization, lemmatization and universal part-of-speech tagging to enable tasks such as word-sense disambiguation and semantic analysis.
With NLP, your business can detect emerging trends, perform predictive analytics, and gain operational insights. Integrated deep learning and machine learning techniques constantly improves the language models to provide high-quality information. Watson NLP is at work to inform decisions in law, risk and compliance, oil and gas, marketing, and even in sports - ESPN Fantasy Football players use our capabilities to make better trading decisions.
