NLTK Tutorial: What Is NLTK Library in Python?

This document provides an overview of the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), a popular Python library for natural language processing. It defines NLP as processing or understanding text or speech using software or machines, similar to how humans interact and understand each other. NLTK is described as a suite of libraries and programs for statistical natural language processing that allows machines to understand and respond to human language. The document outlines what will be covered in an NLTK tutorial, including tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, stemming, lemmatization, WordNet, word embeddings, and sequence-to-sequence models.

Python?
ByDaniel JohnsonUpdatedMay 14, 2022

What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?


Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a process of manipulating or
understanding the text or speech by any software or machine. An analogy is that
humans interact and understand each other’s views and respond with the
appropriate answer. In NLP, this interaction, understanding, and response are
made by a computer instead of a human.

What is NLTK?
NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) Library is a suite that contains libraries and
programs for statistical language processing. It is one of the most powerful NLP
libraries, which contains packages to make machines understand human language
and reply to it with an appropriate response.
