What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. The ultimate objective of NLP is to read, decipher, understand, and make sense of the human language in a valuable way.

How does Natural Language Processing work?

NLP works by using algorithms to identify and extract the natural language rules such that the unstructured language data is converted into a form that computers can understand. This involves several tasks, including part-of-speech tagging, syntactic parsing, semantic understanding, and sentiment analysis.

With the rise of deep learning, many NLP tasks are now being tackled with neural networks, which can learn complex patterns and representations from large amounts of data.

What are the applications of Natural Language Processing?

NLP is used in many areas of AI, including machine translation, sentiment analysis, text summarization, and information extraction. It is also the basis for many everyday applications, such as voice assistants, chatbots, and search engines.
