80%-90% accuracy on your arbitrary data set is meaningless.Your cute NLP algorithms suffer miserably in real life. You are severely underestimating how complex language is if you think getting a high accuracy on these narrow tasks is a meaningful measure of progress. Language is a big open problem for cognitive scientists, and linguistics alike. What makes you think that these computer scientists are magically further ahead of these scientists to create true NLP? Alexa is shit, Google Duplex is shit, Siri is shit. All these NLP applications will continue to be shit, until we actually understand what language is and how it works.
