NLU (Natural Language Understanding)

Understanding the intent behind a statement.

Definition

NLU is the part of language processing that recognises the meaning and intent of a statement — not just the words.

In practice

“Where is my parcel?” and “The delivery hasn’t arrived yet” mean the same. NLU recognises the shared intent and relevant details such as an order number.

At Debesis

The Debesis AI voice assistant recognises intents and details from free speech, without a keypad menu.
