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.
