'Hey Siri, What's the Meaning of Life' An Introduction to the Tech That Talks Back

  HARSHIL TANNA L6G Abstract  Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the umbrella term for the various processes and techniques needed to interpret human language. This technology has become an integral part of our lives that shapes the way we function.  Initially, the cognitive abilities of NLP models were restricted, resulting in numerous misinterpretations when given commands outside a specified word set. Similarly, initial iterations of voice-controlled assistants, such as Siri, required users to articulate commands multiple times to be understood.  These challenges were common in the early NLP systems as they struggled to handle the complexities of the human language. Over time, advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have considerably improved a machine’s ability to understand and process natural language to expand the possibility of smoother interactions. For example, the repetitive process of articulating commands facilitated Siri's acquis...

Poetry today: Effervescent change

  Effervescent change  A crumpled note,  Some clinking change,  Can not buy a boat,  But it quenches the pain.  You have enough,  To survive your day,  But your parents bluff,  About the pay.  At the end of each week,  Comes the looming prize,  Though it may be bleak,  It helps to survive.  A gift, held so dear,  As the giver of happy days,  But when their gone comes the tears, Of thy reckless spending ways.  It brings joy, makes the receiver feel able. But when its gone, it becomes a longing fable.  By Aadi Shah 8G
