Once upon a time, there was a researcher, an NLP one. Day by day our hero was writing programs, collecting data, processing it, delivering various analysis and extracting information. What? Doesn't sound like a real story full of magic, dragons, and princesses? Then let me pose a few questions: How often do you ask princess Siri to show you the way to the nearest coffee shop?
