Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. One goal of NLP is to enable machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is natural and meaningful to humans. NLP technology works by breaking down human language into its constituent parts, such as words, phrases, and sentences, and analyzing their meanings and relationships. This is done using a range of techniques, such as part-of-speech tagging, syntactic parsing, semantic analysis, and discourse analysis. NLP systems can then use this information to perform a wide range of tasks, such as answering questions, summarizing text, and identifying key concepts and entities.
