Transforming Text into Insights

Natural Language Processing, a discipline of building machines that can manipulate human language or data that resembles human language, written, spoken, and organized. Recent years have brought a revolution in the ability of computers to understand human languages, programming languages, and even biological and chemical sequences, such as DNA and protein structures, that resemble language.

NLP evolved from computational linguistics, which uses computer science to understand the principles of language, but rather than developing theoretical frameworks. NLP, an engineering discipline seeks to build technology to accomplish useful tasks. NLP is divided into two overlapping subfields: natural language understanding (NLU), which focuses on semantic analysis or determining the intended meaning of text, and natural language generation (NLG), which focuses on text generation by a machine.

NLP is an integral part of everyday life and becoming more so as language technology is applied to diverse fields like retailing and medicine. Conversational agents such as Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri utilize NLP to listen to user queries and find answers. The most sophisticated such agents — such as GPT-3, which was recently opened for commercial applications — can generate sophisticated prose on a wide variety of topics as well as power chatbots that are capable of holding coherent conversations.

The field of Natural Language Processing has significantly transformed the way humans interact with machines, enabling more intuitive and efficient communication. NLP encompasses a wide range of techniques and methodologies to understand, interpret, and generate human language. Whether you're a developer, researcher, or simply someone interested in the latest advancements in AI, NLP is an exciting field that holds much potential for growth and innovation.
