Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an area of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans using natural language. NLP involves techniques for understanding, interpreting, and generating human languages in a way that is both meaningful and useful for various applications. This includes tasks such as language translation, sentiment analysis, language modeling, and text classification. NLP has a wide range of applications in fields such as chatbots, virtual assistants, search engines, and text analysis. It is a rapidly growing field with ongoing research and development to improve the capabilities and performance of NLP systems.
