Natural Language Processing: Enabling Machines to Understand Text
Natural Language Processing: Enabling Machines to Understand Text Natural Language Processing, or NLP, helps computers read and understand human language. It sits at the junction of linguistics and data science. With NLP, machines can grasp meaning, detect intent, and find important ideas in text. Today it underpins translation, chatbots, search, and content analysis, making digital systems more helpful to people. NLP works in steps. Text is divided into smaller pieces called tokens. Next, systems identify parts of speech, grammar, and sentence structure. Modern models use large neural networks that learn from huge amounts of text. They can translate, summarize, answer questions, or classify sentiment by predicting the most likely words. Evaluation uses metrics like accuracy or F1 score to guide improvement. ...
