This is true, but isn't really that relevant to the parent's point about statistical methods. Statistical methods (and "deep learning" is such a method) could certainly take the order of words in a sentence into account, for example.

Which part of "The paper I linked to below describes a technique they call "deep parsing." Check it out for more context." could you not parse?

I mean if us humans have a difficulty parsing each other's statements, then why should machines do any better?

[atq2119]

None. I was merely pointing out that your comment wasn't a response to albertzeyer's point about statistical methods. That is to say, maybe you didn't parse their comment properly ;)

[animalCrax0rz]

Nope, I was simply countering that it's not as simple as they suggested. I added the link to the paper to show one approach to given them some context as to what might it look like.

The number of humans that would have difficulty parsing "shirt without stripes" is very very low.

I keep trying to talk about the general problem and people keep focusing on this one example. I give up. :)
