Natural Language Processing: Turning Words Into Data 7wData

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has long been one of the holy grails of computer science. While we all know that computers are better than humans at making sense of highly structured information, there are still some important areas where humans are undeniably better than machines. Understanding language is one of those areas. For humans, understanding language is so natural we usually don't even have to make a conscious effort to do it. In reality, though, processing language and turning it into meaningful information is an extremely complex and difficult task.
