NLP (Natural Language Processing)
What is NLP (Natural Language Processing)?
The field of AI focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. NLP underpins search engines, translation tools, chatbots, sentiment analysis, and large language models. While older NLP relied on hand-crafted linguistic rules, modern NLP is dominated by transformer-based deep learning models.
Example in practice
A customer insights team using AI to automatically classify and route support tickets by detected sentiment and topic is applying NLP — the branch of AI that enables machines to process and understand human language at scale.
