Natural language processing (NLP)

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of computer science, artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, and, in particular, concerned with programming computers to effectively process large natural language data.

Natural Language Processing is a theoretically prompted array of computational techniques for analyzing and representing naturally occurring texts at one or more levels of linguistic analysis for the purpose of achieving human-like language processing for a range of tasks or applications.

Speech recognition, natural language understanding, and natural language generation are often problems in natural language processing.
