Bloomsbury has been acquired for a price of somewhere between $23 million and $30 million.

The startup acquisition war continues, and it's Facebook that's thrown the latest punch. According to media reports, the social media giant has acquired, in early July, a London-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup.

The startup's name is Bloomsbury, and it seems to have been acquired for a price of somewhere between $23 million and $30 million.

Bloomsbury is a startup that develops natural language processing (NLP) technology, allowing machines to read documents and answer questions based on what they'd learned from them.
