Study Notes
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Definition
- Subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that deals with the interaction between computers and human language
- Enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language
Goals
- Language Understanding: enable computers to comprehend human language, including semantics, syntax, and pragmatics
- Language Generation: enable computers to generate human-like language, including text and speech
Key Concepts
- Tokenization: breaking down text into individual words or tokens
- Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging: identifying the grammatical category of each word (e.g., noun, verb, adjective)
- Named Entity Recognition (NER): identifying named entities in text, such as people, places, and organizations
- Sentiment Analysis: determining the emotional tone or sentiment of text, such as positive, negative, or neutral
Techniques
- Rule-based Approach: using pre-defined rules to analyze and generate language
- Statistical Approach: using machine learning algorithms to analyze and generate language based on statistical patterns
- Deep Learning Approach: using neural networks to analyze and generate language
Applications
- Chatbots: computer programs that converse with humans using natural language
- Language Translation: translating text or speech from one language to another
- Sentiment Analysis: analyzing customer feedback, reviews, and social media posts to determine sentiment
- Text Summarization: automatically summarizing large documents or articles
Challenges
- Ambiguity: dealing with ambiguous words or phrases that have multiple meanings
- Contextual Understanding: understanding the context in which language is being used
- Common Sense: lacking common sense and real-world knowledge that humans take for granted
- Explainability: difficulty in explaining the decisions made by AI models in NLP

Unsupervised Learning
- Identifies patterns or relationships in unlabeled data
Reinforcement Learning
- Learns from interactions with an environment to maximize a reward signal
Applications of Machine Learning
- Image and speech recognition
- Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Predictive modeling and decision-making
