This includes technologies such as deep learning-based “NLU (Natural Language Understanding) Engine”, “Paraphrasing Engine” to detect and expand analogous expressions, and global top standard of the “MRC (Machine Reading Comprehension) Engine”. Recently, it has been expanding its application range of Deep Semantic QA platforms to telecommunication, shipbuilding, automobile and finance.
