Natural Language Understanding (NLU)

/ natural-language-understanding-nlu /

The subset of NLP focused on extracting meaning — intents, entities, sentiment — from language.

Why it matters

Understanding is upstream of everything: a misread intent or missed entity derails the whole exchange, no matter how good the response generation is.
