50 Shades of Text -- Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP)

On 21th June 2018 at Buildo, Data Science Milan has organized an event on a fashion topic: Natural Language Processing (NLP). Nowadays we found many applications of NLP, such as machine translation (Google translator), question answering (chatbot), web and application search (Amazon), lexical semantics (Thesaurus), sentiment analysis (Cambridge Analytica), natural language generator (Reddit bot). What is the mean of natural language processing? Natural language processing is a branch of artificial intelligence representing a bridge between humans and computers; it can be broadly defined as the automatic manipulation of natural language, like speech and text, by software. There are many ways to represents words in NLP and you cannot use text data directly on machine learning algorithms.
