Natural Language Processing: From Basics, to using RNN and LSTM

One of the most fascinating advancements in the world of machine learning, is the development of abilities to teach a machine how to understand human communication. This very arm of machine learning is called as Natural Language Processing. This post is an attempt at explaining the basics of Natural Language Processing and how a rapid progress has been made in it with the advancements of deep learning and neural networks. A language, basically is a fixed vocabulary of words which is shared by a community of humans to express and communicate there thoughts. This vocabulary is taught to humans as a part of their growing up process, and mostly remains fixed with few additions each year.
