Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. It involves understanding, interpreting, and generating human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful.
Basics of NLP
- Tokenization: Splitting text into words, sentences, or other meaningful elements.
- Part-of-Speech Tagging: Labeling words with their grammatical properties, such as nouns, verbs, or adjectives.
- Named Entity Recognition: Identifying and classifying named entities in text, such as people, organizations, or locations.
Common NLP Tasks
- Text Classification: Categorizing text into predefined categories, such as sentiment analysis.
- Machine Translation: Translating text from one language to another.
- Summarization: Generating a concise summary of a longer text.
