César Antonio Aguilar, Olga Lucía Acosta · Advances in business information systems and analytics book series · 2020
This chapter presents a critical review of the current state of natural language processing in Chile and Mexico. Specifically, a general review is made regarding the technological evolution of these countries in this area of research and development, as well as the progress they have made so far. Subsequently, the remaining problems and challenges are addressed. Specifically, two are analyzed in detail here: (1) the lack of a strategic policy that helps to establish stronger links between academia and industry and (2) the lack of a technological inclusion of the indigenous languages, which causes a deep digital divide between Spanish (considered in Chile and Mexico as their official language) with them.
