Honestly, that sounds largely meaningless and that someone just threw some buzzwords together in order to get people to give them money.

Thank you, Do you think in general is it logical to employ blockchain for NLP? and if so, is there an example? Thanks

It sounds like pure marketing nonsense to me.

# Natural Language Processing and Blockchain?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-10-25)

This question is about one of the applications of the Blockchain in **Artificial Intelligence**. I am not very familiar with **Natural Language Processing** and
I see that there is a Blockchain platform named "[Graphgrail](https://en.graphgrail.com/whitepaper/pdf/WP_eng.pdf)" to employ Blockchain for NLP and AI.

In its whitepaper is mentioned that:

It's not yet clear to me **HOW** exactly blockchain can help the user for an NLP operation?

What does mean : "*The Token allows the platform to **hash** in the blockchain platform the users and the results that they receive when training a neural network*" ? And what is the advantage of hashing the users and their results? (Is it for data integrity?)

And who is "**owner**" and who is "**buyer**"?

**And do you think in general is it logical to employ blockchain for NLP? and if so, is there an example?**

**Tags:** blockchain, hash
