> Google is already teaching its computers the basics of language. This May the company announced a system, dubbed Parsey McParseface, that can look at syntax, recognizing nouns, verbs, and other elements of text.

"is already teaching" ? This is a dead giveaway that the author is utterly lacking of experience with machine learning. Syntax parsing has been around for years, Google just released a more up-to-date implementation.

Why can't they proofread these articles with actual ML people?
