Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to work with human language in written or spoken form. It helps systems interpret, analyze, and generate language by identifying patterns in words, sentences, and context. NLP models can process large amounts of language data and perform tasks such as understanding questions, extracting information, translating text, or generating responses.
For example, a customer-service system can use NLP to understand a customer’s message and route the request to the appropriate service. This makes communication with software more natural and efficient. NLP is widely used in virtual assistants, search engines, translation tools, sentiment analysis, document processing, chatbots, and content generation.
