What if you could have a conversation with AI like you were talking to an old friend?
“Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language.”
It enables machines to understand, interpret, and respond to natural language, such as spoken or written text, in a manner that mimics human communication.
NLP leverages various techniques like machine learning, deep learning, and computational linguistics to process and analyze textual data. These methods enable computers to extract meaning, sentiment, and intent from language, making it possible for them to understand the context and nuances of human communication.
NLP Tasks Include:
- Speech recognition – a.k.a speech-to-text, converts voice data into text data.
- Named entity recognition (NEM) – identifies words or phrases as useful entities.
- Co-reference resolution – identifying if two words refer to the same entity.
- Sentiment analysis -attempting to extract subjective qualities from the text (ex. emotions, sarcasm, confusion).
- Word sense disambiguation – selecting the meaning of a word with multiple meanings through semantic analysis to determine what makes the most sense.
NLP has widespread applications across various industries. Chatbots and virtual assistants, powered by NLP, provide instant and personalized responses to customer queries, enhancing customer support and user experience.
