Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as machine learning and deep learning are dazzling in and of themselves, but leveraged in isolation, they are limited in their potential, according to a recent report from Tractica. These technologies do not interpret data by themselves: they are tied either to deterministic, hard coded software programs created by humans or they are linked to a form of AI that can interpret human language into a form that algorithms can understand. The umbrella term for this gateway AI technology is natural language processing (NLP).Tractica’s analysis indicates that utilization of ... Read More
