What is language processing?
Language processing refers to computers' ability to understand, interpret, and generate human language. Language processing, often called natural language processing (NLP), is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. It combines computer science, linguistics, and machine learning elements to enable machines to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data.
Key aspects of language processing include:
- Text analysis: Breaking down and understanding written text
- Speech recognition: Converting spoken language into text
- Machine translation: Translating text from one language to another
- Sentiment analysis: Determining the emotional tone of text
- Text generation: Creating human-like text based on input or patterns
- Information extraction: Pulling specific data from unstructured text
- Question answering: Providing relevant responses to natural language queries
