Google has reportedly acquired natural language processing startup Wavii for roughly $30. “Both Apple and Google were competing for the Seattle-based startup, and Google eventually
won,” TechCrunch reports. “Apple wanted the company, which developed its own aggregation technology and natural summarization algorithms, for its Siri division.” The deal comes on
the heels of Yahoo’s $30 million acquisition of aggregator Summly.
