Power of Language


Artificial Intelligence and its Impact

With the help of advanced Artificial Intelligence, it has now become possible to create tools and engines that help with Natural Language Generation – NLG. And for those of you who do not precisely know what is NLG all about. It is a technique of generating human interpretable narratives from data sets by the use of advanced computational linguistics and analytics.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

To make it simpler for you, please refer below excerpt from the IronMan-3 movie between Tony Stark and Jarvis (Ref)



Jarvis: I've compiled a Mandarin database for you, sir. Drawn from S.H.I.E.L.D., F.B.I., and C.I.A. intercepts. Initiating virtual crime scene reconstruction. [Tony starts looking at all the data gathered]
Tony Stark: Okay, what do we got here? His name is an ancient Chinese war mantle, meaning "adviser to the King". South American insurgency tactics, talks like a Baptist preacher. There's lots of pageantry going on here...lots of theater. [Tony pushes the virtual information down to close] Close. [Tony looks at the virtual crime scene reconstruction]
Jarvis: The heat from the blast was in excess of 3000 degrees Celsius. Any subjects within 12.5 yards were vaporized instantly.
Tony Stark: No bomb parts found in a three-mile radius of the Chinese theater.
Jarvis: No, sir.
Tony Stark: Talk to me, Happy. [in the virtual reconstruction, Tony sees Hogan pointing his finger at some dog tags] When is a bomb not a bomb? [Tony picks up the virtual image of the dog tags to investigate them further] When is a bomb not a bomb? [Tony picks up the virtual image of the dog tags to investigate them further] Any military victims?
Jarvis: Not according to public records, sir.
Tony Stark: Bring up the thermogenic signatures again, factor in three thousand degrees.
Jarvis: The oracle cloud has completed analysis. Accessing satellites and plotting the last twelve months of thermogenic occurrence now.
Tony Stark: Take away everywhere that there's been a Mandarin attack. [Tony looks at the information popping up] Nope. [he sees an attack in Rose Hill, Tennessee] That. You sure that's not one of his?
Jarvis: It predates any known Mandarin attack. The incident was the use of a bomb to assist a suicide.
Tony Stark: Bring it around.
Jarvis: The heat signature is remarkably similar. Three thousand degrees Celsius. [Tony looks at all the information being presented on the Tennessee attack]




With the increased volume of data there has been needing of attaining tools that help to transform data in the form of numbers and spreadsheets into actionable and expertly written narratives.

Natural Language Processing


NLG is a type of NLP – Natural Language Processing is a field that has to do with interpretation and producing of human language (pay attention to dialogues of Jarvis) also at times referred as Computational Linguistics. Other types of NLP are Speech to Text, Natural Language Understanding, Text to Speech (Speech Synthesis).

NLG has proven to be highly helpful solutions specifically for enterprise organizations that have to deal with data and spend hours to identify and derive reports and narratives. And its ability to not only understand the context but the ability to generate natural and conversational language makes this technology worth adapting to. Another aspect of NLG that helps organizations the most is its ability to scale to data-driven communication nearly in real time which means if your data set changes the narrative also changes. IT companies have invested heavily in developing sophisticated NLG tools that could be adopted by enterprise based on its needs within the organization.

The definition of AI keeps changing based on where it is applied. So, when you are using AI on data possibly with the help of techniques like NLG, it helps us reducing repetitive tasks of analyzing data and providing a derivation that helps in better assessment and decision making. Or maybe use of AI in developing bots that use NLU to derive the intent and perform operations.

Languages have come a long way, and now in NextGen, human intelligence is rated on how well can you blend AI for digital disruption within routine rather than coming up with a new AI perspective.

Hardware and strategic sales?

Image
With over a decade of use of gadgets like mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and PC’s digital world has influenced each and every one of us. Did you ever think of the cost that we as a consumer pay to keep ourselves equipped with all these machines we use, in this digital era? How do you count on your spending’s? Cost you pay to purchase, operate or maintain the gadgets that you use? Theoretically, yes! But subconsciously? We are so much involved in this digital life that we only tend to consciously take a decision to purchase a new product after which whatever we do in our life whether it be our next decision or spending on the acquired gadgets, all are driven by associated company policies and their strategies. How much do companies earn from their consumers can really be depicted by its capacity to sell new products or its ability to charge for maintaining an existing product? In such case how can we make the right choice for the right hardware that we choose? Is there somet...
