How it works

Semantic analysis delves into the intended meaning behind language, resolving ambiguities and identifying relationships between concepts. It moves beyond syntactic structure to understand the 'what' and 'why' of communication. This is a core component of natural language understanding, essential for advanced text analytics and context-aware AI systems.
