    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
