The 60-year-old dream of computational linguistics is to make computers capable of communicating with humans in natural language.This has proven hard, and thus research has focused on sub-problems.Even so, the field was stuck with manual rules until the early 90s, when computers became powerful enough to enable the rise of statistical approaches.Eventually, this shifted the main research attention to machine learning from text corpora, thus triggering a revolution in the field.
