Introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP) - KDnuggets

NLP is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the interactions between computers and human natural languages (e.g: English) -- speech or text. Okay, now we get it, NLP plays a major role in our daily computer interactions, let's see more business-related NLP use-cases: NLP is divided into two fields: Linguistics and Computer Science. The Linguistics side is concerned with language, it's formation, syntax, meaning, different kind of phrases (noun or verb) and whatnot. The Computer Science side is concerned with applying linguistic knowledge, by transforming it into computer programs with the help of sub-fields such as Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning & Deep Learning). Scientific advancements in NLP can be divided into 3 categories (Rule-based systems, Classical Machine Learning models and Deep Learning models).
