Computers don’t know what words mean, but they can guess! Imagine you're talking to a friend who doesn't know the word happy, they might say smiling, or laughing. Computers do something similar. They look at patterns in the words you use and try to figure out what you mean. It's like a super-smart game of 20 questions, where the computer guesses your answer by asking about other words.
Examples
- A computer hears you say, 'I’m going to the store,' and guesses you might need a shopping list.
- You ask your phone, 'What’s the weather like today?' and it responds with the forecast based on previous questions.
- Your smart speaker says, 'Good morning!' because it knows you usually ask for the news at this time.
