Yahoo Snags SkyPhrase for Natural-Language Processing
Yahoo has gone and bought another company, pushing its acquisition tally for the year up to 23. The Internet giant today said it has purchased natural-language outfit SkyPhrase for an undisclosed sum. SkyPhrase and its small team of four will become part of the Yahoo Labs team in New York, where they will presumably bring their natural-language-processing acumen to bear on Yahoo’s search and mail products.
