Grammar algorithms are then applied that try to identify and examine the meaning of words, their parts of speech, and to then put those words into the context of what else is being said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.socher.org\/\">Richard Socher<\/a>,\u00a0Salesforce\u2019s chief scientist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/bernardmarr\/2018\/05\/18\/how-artificial-intelligence-is-making-chatbots-better-for-businesses\/#64a051414e72\">said that\u00a0<\/a>&#8220;NLP is going to be incredibly important for business \u2013 it is going to fundamentally change how we provide services, how we understand sales processes and how we do marketing.
