Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing & Speech
Our natural language processing and speech researchers focus on the interaction between people and computers using human languages, both in diverse written and spoken forms, to remove the barrier of language from the ability to communicate. The challenges are immense, from the billions of users on Facebook across the 6,000 languages in the world—some even without a writing system, to the informal tone, slang and typos people use on Facebook. Our researchers work on the complex problems that span deep learning/neural networks, natural language processing, language identification, text normalization, word sense disambiguation, and machine learning, to break down the problems, and build and deploy robust language translation solutions.
