Demystifying Human Language for Machines: An Exploration of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Have you ever conversed with a virtual assistant on your phone or used a chat interface that seemed to grasp the meaning of your questions? Perhaps you’ve been amazed at the ability to translate languages in real-time during a video call. These remarkable feats are powered by a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) known as Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP bridges the communication gap between humans and machines, enabling computers to understand, interpret, and even generate human language.
This introductory exploration look into the fascinating world of NLP. We’ll embark on a historical journey, tracing its evolution from the early days of AI research to its current state-of-the-art applications. Along the way, we’ll uncover the various domains within NLP, where it not only deciphers written text but also tackles the complexities of spoken language.
