Natural Language Understanding (NLU) is a subfield of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that focuses on the interpretation of natural language input. NLU systems are designed to understand the meaning of a given text, allowing them to interpret and respond to user queries. NLU systems are used in a variety of applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated customer service.
NLU systems use a variety of techniques to interpret natural language, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning. These techniques allow NLU systems to understand the context of a given text, as well as the intent of the user. NLU systems can also be used to identify entities, such as people, places, and organizations, in a given text.
Some companies in the NLU market include Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, and Apple. These companies offer a variety of NLU services, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning.
