With the rapid develop- ment and popularization of the Internet and communication technology, Chinese language processing technology has attracted world- wide attention in recent years. This article summarizes the achievements of Chinese language processing and analyzes the present status of the technology in this fi eld, particularly the problems that the fi eld may face in term of development. The author argues that it is still diffi cult for artifi cial intelligence to “understand” rather than “process” naturally produced Chinese because of the following three rea- sons: (1) the current information processing technology is inadequate in processing grammatically complex Chinese sentences; (2) there are unsolved problems in machine learning technologies; and (3) our understanding of how human brain processes language is still very limited. This paper concludes that we need a better understanding of how the Chinese language is decoded in human brain and build a computational model that specifi cally targets at the Chinese language in order for artifi cial intelligence to understand naturally produced Chinese.
