Introduction to NLP
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and human (natural) languages. It involves the ability of machines to read, understand, and generate human language.
For more in-depth information, check out our Introduction to NLP Guide.
Text Preprocessing
Text preprocessing is the first step in most NLP tasks. It involves cleaning and preparing the text data for further processing.
- Tokenization: Splitting text into words or tokens.
- Normalization: Converting text to a standard format.
- Stopword Removal: Removing common words that do not contribute much meaning.
For detailed instructions on text preprocessing, see our Text Preprocessing Tutorial.
Feature Engineering
Feature engineering is the process of creating features from raw data that will be used to train machine learning models.
- Bag of Words: Representing text as the frequency of words.
- TF-IDF: Transforming text into a numeric vector to reflect importance.
- Word Embeddings: Representing words as dense vectors.

Model Selection and Evaluation
Choosing the right model and evaluating its performance are critical steps in NLP tasks.
- Machine Learning Models: Linear Regression, Support Vector Machines, Naive Bayes, etc.
- Deep Learning Models: Recurrent Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Transformers, etc.
- Evaluation Metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 Score, etc.
Explore more about model selection and evaluation in our Model Selection and Evaluation Guide.
Advanced Topics
Advanced topics in NLP include but are not limited to:
- Transfer Learning: Using pre-trained models for various NLP tasks.
- Sequence Modeling: Handling sequences of data, such as time series or sentences.
- Summarization: Generating concise summaries of text.
