In the last edition we investigated natural language processing (NLP) and the role it plays in modern technology. While NLP is a powerful tool for extracting text, it takes too long for humans to analyze the vast amounts of data that is gathered. This is where knowledge graphs play a key role. These specialized graphs provide structured, interconnected data that artificial intelligence systems (AI) can reason with after NLP has processed raw text.

One of the most transformative fields in the emerging powerhouse of artificial intelligence (AI) is Natural Language Processing (NLP). It focuses on the interaction between humans and computers using natural language—allowing machines to understand, interpret, and even generate human language in a meaningful way. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to real-time language translation and chatbots, NLP is revolutionizing how we communicate with technology. 

In today’s digital world, accessibility is a necessity. Government agencies must ensure that their digital content and software are usable by all citizens, including those with disabilities. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. It requires that all federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, and use electronic and information technology (EIT) that is accessible to people with disabilities. 

Government agencies manage significant amounts of sensitive data, from classified intelligence to personal records. As cyber threats grow more powerful, traditional security models relying on trusted internal networks have become inadequate.
