Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans using natural language. The goal of NLP is to enable computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful.
NLP encompasses several tasks, including:
1. Speech recognition – Converting spoken language into text.
2. Language generation – Creating coherent and contextually appropriate language.
3. Machine translation – Automatically translating text from one language to another.
4. Sentiment analysis – Determining the sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) behind a piece of text.
5. Named entity recognition (NER) – Identifying proper nouns like names of people, organizations, locations, etc.
6. Text summarization – Creating a concise summary of a longer piece of text.
7. Chat bots and conversational agents – Creating systems that can hold conversations with humans.
NLP is used in applications like voice assistants (e.g., Siri, Alexa), language translation services (e.g., Google Translate), and content moderation systems for social media.
