NLP from Southampton
February 3, 2011
IBM’s Jeopardy marketing play has sparked other companies to say, “We do that too.”
The Engineer announced that “Intelligent Machine Brain Understands Natural Language.” This machine brain is called the Sysbrain and Prof. Sandor Veres of Southampton University headed its creation. The Sysbrain has huge marketability and can used in a wide range of fields.
‘Essentially we’ve developed a system to give some intelligence to machines, not as human intelligence but specific to particular tasks such as spatiotemporal awareness and avoiding dangerous situations,’ he said. ‘Think about what a spacecraft would need in a mission through the asteroid belt.’ ”
The natural language programming (NRL) is the Sysbrain’s most remarkable feature. It can understand everyday English and technical documents and is geared towards professionals not fluent in programming language. I’m sure everyone is thinking about HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey after reading this. All I can say is, “Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true!” and “Take a stress pill, Dave.” That big red glowing light was impressive but it did dim, didn’t it?
