Google has released an English parser called Parsey McParseface. Despite the name, the parser is entirely serious - here’s part of their description of it: 

One of the main problems that makes parsing so challenging is that human languages show remarkable levels of ambiguity. It is not uncommon for moderate length sentences - say 20 or 30 words in length - to have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of possible syntactic structures. A natural language parser must somehow search through all of these alternatives, and find the most plausible structure given the context. As a very simple example, the sentence Alice drove down the street in her car has at least two possible dependency parses:

Snoy曾跟人說，語音助手是未來科技重點，但有幾個技術要做好，所以大概要20年後才真正成熟(跟 賈維斯(Jarvis)、伙計(K.I.T.T.)、阿斯拉(Asurada)差不多)，希望有天才科科能跌破我眼鏡。

1.語音辨識：語音轉文字(STT)現階段，還是常出錯或吃到背景聲音，而且Apple Siri、Google Now跟IBM語音輸入法不同不給User訓練，那口音部份只能靠他們調了。

2.語意辨識：文字(人類自然語言)，轉為機器懂得命令。Research Blog提到的SyntaxNet就是在做這件事。

3.找出解答或相對操作：這部份的學習應該也是廠商教，user應該無法教，因為可能會跟之前的微軟聊天機器人一樣學壞 = =。

Parsey McParseface: Google introduces tool for understanding English

Boaty McBoatface may never have actually come to fruition as the name of the new British polar research vessel, but the concept of the name lives on. Introducing Parsey McParseface, Google’s tool for understanding English. According to Google, the framework can correctly identify different parts of a sentence, including subjects, objects, verbs, and so on, with up to 94 percent accuracy. And going forward, being able to understand sentences is likely to be a very important part of how computers interact with humans, both in search and beyond.

It is not uncommon for moderate-length sentences — say 20 or 30 words in length — to have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of possible syntactic structures.

Google gives their engineers a lot of room to innovate and to apply their creativity much more liberally than most other companies. So it didn’t shock us that Google’s latest piece of software is called Parsey McParseface. The free tool from Google’s research hub help computers to parse and under...
