Natural Language Processing: A Simple Explanation

Natural language processing, or NLP, is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that specializes in analyzing human language. Have you ever used Apple's Siri and wondered how it understands (most of) what you're saying? This is an example of NLP in practice. NLP is becoming an essential part of our lives, and together with machine learning and deep learning, produces results that are far superior to what could be achieved just a few years ago. In this article we'll take a closer look at NLP, see how it's applied and learn how it works.
