Natural language processing—also known as NLP. Also known as conversational AI. Also known as talking robots. Whatever you want to call it, a conversational AI system talks like a human, understands context, and provides intelligent responses.
NLP is just getting started. According to Gartner, by 2022, up to 70% of people will be interacting with conversational AI platforms daily. From smart assistants to search engines, predictive text, and recommender systems, NLP is the new global language. And it’s already all around you.
#1: Creditworthiness assessments
NLP can be used to generate credit scores based on data such as geolocation, social media activity, browsing behavior, peer networks, and more.#2: Clinical trial matching
Getting patient participation for clinical trials can be difficult, mostly because people don’t know that trials are available. With NLP, researchers and manufacturers can automatically match patients to clinical trials.#3: Law enforcement
Police departments use NLP to determine motives for crimes to increase safety, reduce violence, and make policing more humane.#4: Vehicle maintenance
NLP makes it easier for drivers to keep their vehicles in top shape. Instead of flipping through a thick user manual, owners simply need to ask their vehicle questions like “Which warning light is showing?” and “How do I change a fuse?”#5: Aircraft repair
NLP helps mechanics synthesize information from huge service manuals to increase their understanding of problems reported by pilots.With NetApp® ONTAP® AI, powered by NVIDIA DGX systems and NetApp cloud-connected all-flash storage systems, massive, state-of-the-art language models can be trained and optimized to perform inference rapidly. A data fabric powered by NetApp simplifies data management across the AI data pipeline, from edge to core to cloud:
