Overview

NLP combines linguistics and computer science to enable machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful.

Key Tasks

  • Sentiment Analysis: Determining the emotional tone of text.
  • Machine Translation: Translating text between languages.
  • Named Entity Recognition (NER): Identifying people, places, and organizations in text.

Evolution

NLP has shifted from rule-based systems to statistical models, and now to deep learning-based LLMs.
