Natural Language Processing Basics

What is NLP?

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. It enables machines to read, understand, and generate text and speech.

Key Concepts

• Tokenization: Splitting text into words, sentences, or sub‑words.
• Stemming & Lemmatization: Reducing words to their base forms.
• Part‑of‑Speech Tagging: Identifying grammatical categories (noun, verb, etc.).
• Named Entity Recognition (NER): Detecting proper nouns like names, dates, locations.
• Embedding: Converting words into dense vector representations.
