How Natural Language Processing (NLP) Works To Make Smart Machines Smarter

Part of the implicit promise and marketing hype around Machine Learning is that these technologies will make life easier for humans by reading and processing information with us. The basic premise of NLP is the ability -- after training -- to recognise and classify the intent in natural text such as a blog article or speech. Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with the interaction between humans and computers using natural language. NLP is used to build applications that can understand human languages and respond in a way that is natural for humans. NLP is used to create chatbots, analyse sentiment, extract information, translate text, and more.
