What Is Natural Language Understanding?

Natural language understanding (NLU) is a technical concept within the larger topic of natural language processing. NLU is the process responsible for translating natural, human words into a format that a computer can interpret. Essentially, before a computer can process language data, it must understand the data.

Techniques for NLU include the use of common syntax and grammatical rules to enable a computer to understand the meaning and context of natural human language. The ultimate goal of these techniques is that a computer will come to have an “intuitive” understanding of language, able to write and understand language just the way a human does, without constantly referring to the definitions of words.

Gun that killed Iran’s nuke scientist used ‘artificial intelligence,’ IRGC says

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, long regarded by Israel and the US as the head of Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, was driving on a highway outside Iran’s capital Tehran with a security detail of 11 Guards on November 27, when the machine gun “zoomed in” on his face and fired 13 rounds, said Rear-admiral Ali Fadavi.

The machine gun was mounted on a Nissan pickup and “focused only on martyr Fakhrizadeh’s face in a way that his wife, despite being only 25 centimeters (10 inches) away, was not shot,” the Mehr news agency quoted IRGC chief Fadavi as saying.

It was being “controlled online” via a satellite and used an “advanced camera and artificial intelligence” to make the target, he added.
