- Named Entity Recognition (NER): Identifying entities in text such as names, locations, organizations, etc.
- Sentiment Analysis: Determining the sentiment or tone of a piece of text, such as positive, negative, or neutral.

NLP has a wide range of applications, including:
- Machine Translation: Translating text from one language to another.
- Voice Assistants: Understanding and responding to spoken language, like Siri or Alexa.
