Read In The Name Of Your Lord

Language is, at least according to some of my friends, humanity’s greatest invention. It is the main method of communication between humans and the primary means of preserving information, whether through oral tradition or in written form. Language is the basis for education, collaboration and innovation. Much of what distinguishes the accomplishments of our species can be attributed directly to language.

Humanity’s next greatest innovation? After cooking our food, is arguably digital machines along with the infrastructure they are built on and the software that runs them. Much of the modern world is built on a digital backbone. And yet, machine understanding of human language remains in its infancy.

I used to be a skeptic on this, but the things I’ve learned and seen over the last month from Jordan Jacobs and Mohamed Omar, in addition to some of the neural network modules being built out of UofT steadily, are proving that this won’t be for long though, not long at all.
