title: Does Google Natural Language API use BERT?
body: <p>A week ago, Google announced (<a href="https://blog.google/products/search/search-language-understanding-bert" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blog.google/products/search/search-language-understanding-bert</a>), that they will use BERT (<a href="https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/open-sourcing-bert-state-of-art-pre.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/11/open-sourcing-bert-state-of-art-pre.html</a>) for better understanding search queries and for featured snippets.</p>
  
  <p>My question is therefore, if BERT is also used in the Natural Language API or are these two separate systems?</p>
