In the last few years, <\/span>Natural Language Processing<\/b> (NLP) has become the focus of Artificial Intelligence with the introduction of game-changing new applications and models. This article will also provide a brief on <\/span>AI certification<\/b> tests. So, keep reading to know more about the current rage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technically, <\/span>Natural Language Processing <\/b>(NLP) is the union of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Science, and human language (Generally, English). It is the study through which you can teach computers how human beings inherently write, talk, and speak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that the technical definition is out there, what do we really mean by NLP, which forms an important part of <\/span>AI and Machine Learning courses<\/b><\/a>?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Real-world Examples of NLP\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Without realizing it, you\u2019ve come across NLP more often than you\u2019d admit. The virtual assistants on your smartphones like Google Assistant and Siri are the most common examples of NLP. They carefully listen to what you say and process that information in a language intelligible to their systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, generally, NLP can be used for Voice Commands, Text-to-Speech, Chatbots, Search Engines, Language Translation, Sentiment Analysis, and Spelling Checks.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Natural Language Processing?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Humans generally communicate with each other using natural language. Processing refers to the action of converting data into a form that can be easily understood by machines. Combining these two terms, we get Natural Language Processing which helps computers communicate with people in their natural language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How does NLP work?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We use NLP software for pre-processing sentences in a natural language and structure that can be used for interpretation by machines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Must-know Terms in NLP\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Let us understand the most important concepts in NLP through the example of this sentence: \u201cShe doesn\u2019t sing, but my son is a vocalist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
