I work in software development. I keep on writing from time to time People's Code to continue following some of my oldest passions: linguistics and language technologies. I'm Italian and I live in Luxembourg. Ah... the blog's name comes from my favorite definition of natural language: it is a shared code. It is not nice nor ugly, not simple nor difficult - we understand each other only because we share the same code and we (often) agree on it.
Ehm ho un altro blog in Italiano, ma è un segreto...

New NLP adventure: a learning, “living” keyboard. This is from Nuance, who are quite big in the industry, to say the least, especially the Automatic Speech Recognition industry.
I would assume the data a user provides to the application is of course of great use for Nuance, but for now I’m posting this in light of the cool machine learning it does, and the nice NLP aspects it must have.
Gut Shabbes everyone,
I be in Israel in just a bit!
