Natural Language Processing is Fun! – Adam Geitgey – Medium

Natural Language Processing, or NLP, is the sub-field of AI that is focused on enabling computers to understand and process human languages. Let's check out how NLP works and learn how to write programs that can extract information out of raw text using Python! Note: If you don't care how NLP works and just want to cut and paste some code, skip way down to the section called "Coding the NLP Pipeline in Python". As long as computers have been around, programmers have been trying to write programs that understand languages like English. The reason is pretty obvious -- humans have been writing things down for thousands of years and it would be really helpful if a computer could read and understand all that data.
