Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of AI focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate
human language. Imagine a world where computers can effortlessly communicate with humans in natural language. This is the
promise of NLP. NLP encompasses a wide range of tasks, including:
1 Text Generation 2 Machine Translation
NLP algorithms can generate human-like text, creating Breaking down language barriers, NLP powers real-time
content for articles, stories, scripts, and more. translation services, making communication across
languages seamless.
3 Sentiment Analysis 4 Text Summarization
By analyzing text, NLP can identify the emotional tone, Extracting key information and summarizing lengthy
opinions, and attitudes expressed in written documents, NLP saves time and helps users grasp the
communication. essence of information.
Computer Vision
Computer vision allows computers to "see" and interpret images and videos, similar to how humans do. It's a
core technology in AI, empowering machines to analyze visual data, recognize objects, and understand scenes.
Some key applications of computer vision include:
Image Recognition Object Detection Image Segmentation
Identifying objects within an Locating and classifying objects Dividing an image into
image, such as faces, animals, or within an image or video, used in meaningful regions, enabling
landmarks. Widely used in autonomous vehicles, robotics, tasks like scene understanding,
security systems, photo tagging, and industrial automation. medical image analysis, and
and medical diagnostics. object tracking.
AI in Robotics
The integration of AI with robotics is revolutionizing the way we interact with
machines. By combining the power of AI algorithms with the physical capabilities of
robots, we are creating a new generation of intelligent machines. Some examples
include:
