Natural Language Processing
◼ Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of study that bridges the gap between human
language and computers.

◼ It enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language, allowing for more
natural and intuitive interactions between humans and technology.

◼ At the core of NLP is the ability to analyse and extract meaning from textual data.

◼ This involves techniques such as tokenization, which breaks down text into individual words
or phrases

Fundamentals of NLP:
Tokenization, Lemmatization and Stemming
◼ Tokenization:
• Tokenization is a fundamental process in natural language processing (NLP) that involves
breaking down text into individual words or units, known as tokens.
• This step is crucial for enabling computers to understand the structure and meaning of human
language.
◼ Lemmatization and Stemming
• Lemmatization and stemming are two closely related techniques in natural language
processing (NLP) that aim to reduce words to their base or dictionary form.
• While they share the same goal, the underlying approaches differ in their level of linguistic
sophistication.

Emerging Trends in NLP
◼ Transformers and the Attention Mechanism:
• Transformer-based models (like BERT and GPT) excel at tasks like translation,
summarization, and text generation by capturing long-range dependencies in text.
• Example: GPT-3 can generate human-like text, while BERT is excellent at understanding
context in search queries.
◼ Ethics in NLP Bias in NLP models:
• NLP models trained on biased datasets can inadvertently perpetuate harmful stereotypes (e.g.,
gender or racial bias in word associations).
• Ethical considerations: As NLP systems are increasingly used in sensitive areas (like hiring,
policing, or healthcare), ethical concerns about data privacy and algorithmic fairness become
critical.

Text Classification and Sentiment Analysis
◼ Text Classification:
• Text classification is a fundamental task in natural language processing (NLP) that involves
categorizing text into predefined classes or categories.
• This technique is widely used in a variety of applications, from spam detection and sentiment
analysis to topic modelling and document organization.
◼ Sentiment Analysis:
• Determining the emotional tone of text is a crucial aspect of natural language processing
(NLP).
• Text can convey a wide range of emotions, from positive sentiments like joy and excitement
to negative emotions like anger, sadness, or fear.
• Understanding the emotional context of written communication is essential for applications
such as customer service, social media monitoring, and content moderation.

Application of NLP
◼ Machine Translation
• Definition: Machine translation is the process of automatically converting text from one
language to another.
◼ Voice Assistants
• Definition: NLP-powered virtual assistants, such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, are
designed to process spoken language and respond to voice commands.
◼ Content Moderation
• Definition: Content moderation involves the automatic detection and filtering of harmful or
inappropriate content using NLP techniques.
◼ Information Extraction
• Definition: Information extraction is the process of automatically extracting structured
information (such as names, dates, or places) from unstructured text.

Conclusion
◼ Natural Language Processing (NLP) has made tremendous strides in bridging the gap
between human language and machine understanding, enabling smoother interactions in
various fields such as customer service, healthcare, and information retrieval.

◼ NLP applications like machine translation, sentiment analysis, and virtual assistants have
become essential tools in both personal and professional domains, improving communication
and automating tasks.

◼ NLP is already changing how we interact with technology, making systems more intuitive and
user-friendly.
