Language Understanding

Noun · AI & Machine Learning

Definitions

  1. The ability of an AI system to interpret meaning, intent, structure, and context in natural language. In practice, language understanding is judged by how well systems handle ambiguity, follow instructions, and connect related concepts across text.

    In plain English: How well an AI system understands human language.

    Example: "The multilingual rollout exposed gaps in language understanding because idiomatic support requests were being translated too literally."
