Natural Language Processing

Definition of Natural Language Processing as it relates to Technology, Technical Writing, Programming Languages

Natural Language Processing, or NLP, refers to the branch of programming languages focused on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. It combines computational linguistics—rule and statistical modeling of human language—with machine learning, and deep learning models. The aim is to read, decipher, understand, and make sense of the human language in a valuable way. Natural Language Processing is used in various applications such as sentiment analysis, speech recognition, machine translation, entity extraction, topic segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, and relationship extraction among others. As a part of programming languages, NLP plays an essential role in technology and technical writing, enabling the development of more sophisticated AI systems capable of understanding human language with ease.
