Natural Language Processing:

An Introduction
This lecture will delve into the fascinating world of Natural Language
Processing (NLP), a key area of artificial intelligence that allows computers
to understand and process human language.

by Paridhi Kulshrestha
What is Natural Language Processing?
Understanding Language Bridging the Gap
NLP empowers computers to analyze, interpret, and generate It bridges the gap between human communication and
human language. computer understanding.
The Evolution of NLP: From
Rule-Based to Machine
Learning
1 Rule-Based Systems
Early NLP systems relied on hand-crafted rules and
grammars.

2 Statistical NLP
The rise of machine learning introduced probabilistic models
for language analysis.

3 Deep Learning Era


Recent years have seen the dominance of deep learning
models, achieving state-of-the-art results.
Key NLP Techniques:
Tokenization, Part-of-Speech
Tagging, Named Entity
