ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Elman Service

Okay, so imagine you have a special machine that can understand things people say, and you want to teach it to understand a specific language.

Now, there is a man named Elman who came up with a way to teach machines how to understand language. He created a special program called the Elman service that helps machines learn how to understand languages.

Here's how it works: the Elman service works by breaking down language into smaller parts, like individual words and phrases, and then teaching the machine how these parts fit together to make sentences.

To do this, the Elman service has a "brain" called a neural network that works a lot like the way your brain works. The neural network can look at different words and phrases and figure out what they mean when they are used in different contexts.

So by using the Elman service, machines can learn how to understand language a bit better, just like you do when you learn new words and phrases.
