Combining NLP with Machine Learning

SAS has published an interesting article titled - 'Your personal data scientist'.  I have always been a fan of virtual assistants such as Siri, Google Now and depend on them for most of my day-to-day task management. We have also built some cool use-cases around using NLP for self-service.

The idea of building an NLP wrapper on top of your Analytics engine is a cool one and can have a plethora of use-cases. For e.g. A business decision maker wants to know the top 10 sales talent; the sales in a particular geography last quarter, etc.

We need to build an NLP front-end that can intelligently convert natural language text to queries that can be executed against the machine learning engine.
