Introduction-to-Natural-Language-Processing-NLP

Natural Language Processing (NLP) enables computers to understand and generate human language, with applications ranging from chatbots to machine translation. Key concepts include tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, sentiment analysis, and named entity recognition, while challenges involve ambiguity, context, and social bias. The future of NLP focuses on advances like multimodal NLP and ethical considerations such as bias, privacy, and accountability.

Introduction to

Natural Language
Processing (NLP)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the field of study that focuses on
enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human
language. It's a rapidly evolving discipline that powers a wide range of
applications, from chatbots to machine translation.

Fundamentals of NLP:
Tokenization, Stemming, and
Lemmatization
Tokenization
1
Breaking down text into individual words or "tokens" for
further processing.

Stemming
2
Reducing words to their base or "stem" form, removing
suffixes and prefixes.

Lemmatization
3
Identifying the base or "lemma" form of a word,
considering its context and meaning.
Text Classification: Sentiment Analysis and Document
Categorization

N-grams

1 Basic language models that predict the next word based


on the previous n-1 words.

RNNs

2 Recurrent neural networks that can capture long-term


dependencies in language.

Transformers

3 Powerful models that use attention mechanisms to


understand context and meaning.
Challenges in NLP: Ambiguity,
Context, and Social Bias

language.

3 Social Bias
The need to address and mitigate biases present in language
models and datasets.
Applications of NLP: from
Chatbots to Machine
Translation

Chatbots
Conversational agents that use natural language understanding to
engage with users.

Machine Translation
Translating text between languages, powered by advanced language
models.

Text Summarization
Generating concise summaries of longer documents or articles.
