Nope. We don't know any such thing.

Well every candidate seems to think otherwise.

Google have assembled an impressive array of experts who have written

The key issue is linguistics. You can make jokes on the lines of
"Quieres dormir con fosforo" but the tackling of language, and speech
which is a branch of linuistic understanding is impressive. "I want a
spring for the clock" = "Quiero una resorte por el reloj" reloj =
resorte is the sort of thing that the diagrams in the speech paper is
talking about. The evaluation of a complex Markov diagram is
complicated but it can be done. Google is on its way. What it has
already delivered is impressive too. Getting everything to work on a
Web scale.

2012 for Brtain. BT Vision is doing exactly what I am saying. It is
