Improved quality of information. NLP shares some basic notions with IR, but NLP is not a subfield of IR. "Understanding" the contents of documents refers to one of the many tasks of NLP, i.e. Natural Language Understanding (NLU). NLP and NLU are distinct, as NLP has many other applications.

A major drawback of statistical methods is that they require elaborate [[feature engineering]]. Since 2015,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Socher |first=Richard |title=Deep Learning For NLP-ACL 2012 Tutorial |url=https://www.socher.org/index.php/Main/DeepLearningForNLP-ACL2012Tutorial |access-date=2020-08-17 |website=www.socher.org}} This was an early Deep Learning tutorial at the ACL 2012 and met with both interest and (at the time) skepticism by most participants. Until then, neural learning was basically rejected because of its lack of statistical interpretability. Until 2015, deep learning had evolved into the major framework of NLP.

Intermediate tasks (e.g., part-of-speech tagging and dependency parsing) have not been needed anymore.
