Filling in the blanks is something that humans do all the time with conversation. Just the other day I was asking my girl what was the last name of that woman named Susan from Britains Got Talent. Conversation went like this:

Me: Babe, do you remember the last name of Susan from Britains Got Talent?

Her: Susan... kinda...

Me: I think it began with a "B"

Her: Boyle!

Maybe todays systems would understand me if I phrased the question in a context they understand but why bother taking the time. I can just talk to a human.

It'll get interesting though as computers continue to improve.

I was curious, so I asked Siri your question: what is the last name of Susan from Britain's got talent? She successfully answered Boyle.

You know, the first and probably most important step into realizing natural-NLP is to make a dataset of such prompts and answers. I really like the examples.

Excellent examples. I can't imagine an AI ever picking up on conversations between my wife and I.

Me: Honey, can you grab me the thing on that thing.

Her: Oh, this thing?

Me: The other thing... Perfect, thanks!
