Natural Language Processors
Natural language processing strives to build
machines that understand and respond to text or voice data—and respond with
text or speech of their own—in much the same way humans do.
Natural language processing (NLP)
refers to the branch of computer science—and more specifically, the branch
of artificial intelligence or AI—concerned with
giving computers the ability to understand text and spoken words in much the
same way human beings can.
NLP combines computational
linguistics—rule-based modelling of human language—with statistical, machine
learning, and deep learning models. Together, these technologies enable
computers to process human language in the form of text or voice data and to
‘understand’ its full meaning, complete with the speaker or writer’s intent and
sentiment.
NLP drives
computer programs that translate text from one language to another, respond to
spoken commands, and summarize large volumes of text rapidly—even in real time.
There’s a good chance you’ve interacted with NLP in the form of voice-operated
GPS systems, digital assistants, speech-to-text dictation software, customer
service chatbots, and other consumer conveniences. But NLP also plays a growing
role in enterprise solutions that help streamline business operations, increase
employee productivity, and simplify mission-critical business processes.
