Russian scientists from the LiveDune company are working on creating a neural network that evaluates the comments of social network users, HITECH reports. They believe it's important to provide LiveDune system with the largest and most relevant dictionary of modern Russian slang.
 
The program called "Olga Stanislavovna" by the name of the teacher of the director of the company. Its creators used social networks' content to "teach" the neural network. However, during the first testing, it turned out that "Olga Stanislavovna" does not know how to distinguish sarcasm and does not understand evaluative statements. 

Now the neural network has the most up-to-date vocabulary of modern Russian slang widely used on social networks. About 20 million comments passed through the neural network.
 
The developers plan to use the data accumulated by the system to study the Russian language together with Russian language specialists.
