Natural Language Processing Tutorial

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. This tutorial will give you a basic understanding of NLP and its applications.

What is NLP?

NLP is the ability of machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. It involves several tasks, such as:

• Text Classification: Categorizing text into predefined categories.
• Sentiment Analysis: Determining the sentiment of a piece of text (positive, negative, neutral).
• Machine Translation: Translating text from one language to another.
• Entity Recognition: Identifying and classifying named entities in text.

Applications of NLP

NLP has a wide range of applications, including:

• Customer Service: Automating customer support through chatbots.
• Search Engines: Improving search results by understanding user queries.
• Language Learning: Developing language learning tools that can understand and correct user mistakes.

Getting Started with NLP

To get started with NLP, you can use various libraries and frameworks, such as:

• NLTK: A leading platform for building Python programs to work with human language data.
• spaCy: An industrial-strength natural language processing library.
• TensorFlow: An open-source machine learning framework that includes pre-trained models for NLP tasks.
