There are many benefits of natural language processing (NLP), and what makes NLP so powerful is its ability to extract meaning from text, shape the text to fit a specific purpose, and predict future behavior based on past words.
In this article you will read about five amazing examples of NLP in practice. Although each example differs from the others in terms of size and industry, they all share one thing: they are all incredibly useful for different reasons.

Aircraft Maintenance Software
The use of aircraft maintenance software in the industry has come under a lot of scrutiny lately. Many in the industry suspect that to improve their profit margins, aircraft manufacturers have been using this software to boost their monthly revenue numbers.
That's why in 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made an amendment to the C Series aircraft's maintenance manual that specifically stated that the use of aircraft maintenance software is not permitted.
To remedy this situation, Boeing is going to offer a separate version of its 787 Dreamliner plane with a repair manual that does not use the aircraft's maintenance software. The company claims it will reduce weight and help make their planes more fuel efficient.
Predictive Policing
Predictive policing software is typically used by law enforcement to increase the efficiency of policing. The software scans historical crime data, such as from 911 calls, and then predicts future crimes in a given location.
Predictive policing software has been criticized for feeding into racial profiling as well as providing unreliable information for law enforcement officials. There have also been questions about the ability of these tools to accurately predict where crimes will occur and when they will happen which can be significantly challenging in specific locations with high levels of crime rates like New York City or Washington D.C..
