Sentence Segmentation

The process of breaking down a document into individual sentences.

Tokenization

The process of separating a sentence into individual words (tokens).

Stop Words

Words that don't carry much meaning in a sentence, like 'the', 'a', and 'is'.

Stemming

Reducing words to their base form by removing prefixes and suffixes. For example, 'skipping', 'skips', and 'skipped' all reduce to 'skip'.

Study Notes

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

  • NLP is a branch of artificial intelligence enabling machines to read, understand, and derive meaning from human language.
  • It combines linguistics and computer science to decipher language structure, break down text, and identify significant details.
  • Vast amounts of data are crucial, mostly publicly available from human interactions (social media, etc.).
  • This data helps machines understand human behavior and customer habits.
  • NLP allows machines to mimic human linguistic behavior, saving time and resources in areas like customer service.

NLP Processes

  • NLP techniques are similar to grammar rules taught in school.
  • The first step is segmentation, breaking down documents into sentences using punctuation.
  • Tokenizing involves breaking sentences into individual words.
  • Stop words are common words (like "the," "and") removed for efficiency, as they don't add much meaning.
  • Stemming identifies and processes variations of a word (like "skipping," "skips," "skipped").
  • Lemmatization finds the base form of a word (e.g., "running" becomes "run").
  • Speech tagging identifies parts of speech for each word.
  • Named entity tagging is crucial for identifying important entities (names, venues, etc.) in the document.
  • Machine learning algorithms (like Naive Bayes) can teach machines human sentiment and speech patterns.
