Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics concerned with enabling computers to analyze, interpret, generate, and interact using human language. It includes tasks such as tokenization, translation, sentiment analysis, information extraction, question answering, summarization, and dialogue. NLP combines linguistic knowledge, statistical methods, and machine learning techniques.
A subfield of computer science, information engineering, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, in particular how to program computers to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data.
The field of teaching computers to process what a user said or typed using linguistic rules. Almost all modern natural language processing relies on machine learning.
This focuses on programming computer systems to understand and generate human speech and text. Algorithms look for linguistic patterns in how sentences and paragraphs are constructed and how words, context and structure work together to create meaning. Applications include speech-to-text converters, online tools that summarise text, chatbots, speech recognition and translations. See also large language models.
