Natural Language Processing: Crash Course AI #7

So far in this series, we've mostly focused on how AI can interpret images, but one of the most common ways we interact with computers is through language - we type questions into search engines, use our smart assistants like Siri and Alexa to set alarms and check the weather, and communicate across language barriers with the help of Google Translate. Today, we're going to talk about Natural Language Processing, or NLP, show you some strategies computers can use to better understand language like distributional semantics, and then we'll introduce you to a type of neural network called a Recurrent Neural Network or RNN to build sentences.

Crash Course AI is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios

Linguist here. Am impressed by the level of accuracy/depth. Please do a Crash Course linguistics. It's an underrated field and breaks my heart to see just how small it is in the shadow of physics or history - but you guys can definitely shed some light on it!

The more I learn about computers, the more impressed I am with brains.

Very well done and enjoyable series. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
I did some postgraduate work in AI back in the 1980s and we thought we were right on the cutting edge. Seeing something like this and looking back, I realize just how primitive our tools and techniques actually were.

Can you guys please start a Mathematics course. It would be amazing to learn maths with such amazing graphics.

[Koldunja]

Chocolate potatoes do exist. It's a desert in Russia. There is nothing from potato in them except the shape. ;)

I've been looking forward to this episode for a while - I'm a Computational Linguist, so this is all my bread and butter. In fact, I took a class taught by Ray Mooney in my undergrad, and my graduate work mostly centers around language models for home assistants, so I use a lot of RNNs. Great job with this series guys!

[BrainsApplied]

Thanks for this clear, explanatory video!
You guys are the best!

That translation at 1:35 was nuts! Only the last two words were unnatural!

Hey, a surprise linguistic cameo by Physics Girl! Is it really Dianna's birthday next week?

I WOULD LOVEEEE IT IF CRASH COURSE HAD AN ACCOUNTING COURSE!!❤️️.

[LearnandGrowKidsTV]

Great video! Enjoyed watching! We’re so glad we found this channel!

[warpedmine]

When I opened this video not watching the series yet and I was not expecting my mans to be there and even using the lips instead of it being stuck like super glue

[maelysouza]

Ótima aula! Adorei essa série de vídeos!

[rehanalampanah]

hey, Your teaching style is awesome. why aren't you trying to make a complete course on AI instead crash course.

[mglsj]

Watching this 3 years later when CHAT GPT is out which can basically do the same thing.

[AnaleenAelwyn]

Human languages can also be visual: sign languages! 😀

[AyrtonTwigg]

I so hope there will be a lab on reinforcement learning!

[reigh]

Can you use known identifying words like types of medication routes as statically programmed to find all the sentences pertaining to parse them out and run a loop to concatenate? Also The heading key words then search a whole reference and parse those by listing by route and add any general sentences for the heading and dose instructions sentence? I 'm pretty sure that right to get my baseline then from there have it try and use machine learning to summarize those concatenated rows one by one to reduce character counts and make it more clear understandable ie flow in sentence structures when put back together.

[coypus]

hey my dudes


watch your videos a lot in our classes but it is sorta hard to suck it all in. You do give a lot of good info but are speaking realy fast. Just a little thing. Thank you :)

Him: I've never heard of chocolate potatoes so they probably don't exist.


Chocolate covered potato chips: i'm about to end this man's whole career.
