An explanation of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?Natural Language Processing, or NLP, is a field in computer science that focuses on making computers understand and interact with human language. Think about how you use a search engine, talk to a virtual assistant like Siri or Alexa, or even use auto-correct when typing on your phone. All of these are examples of NLP at work.
NLP combines linguistics (the study of language) and computer science to teach computers how to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data. This means that computers can understand things like speech, text, and context, enabling them to respond in a meaningful way.
