Introducing basic NLP concepts
NLP is a subfield of artificial intelligence, aimed at analyzing and synthesizing human language and speech. You can use these models for different purposes, such as translation, chatbots, spam filters, grammar correction software, and voice assistants. NLP has become very popular in the last few years, thanks to the spread of huge quantities of text that can be analyzed to build very domain-specific tools.
The section is organized as follows:
- Exploring the NLP workflow
- Classifying NLP systems
- Exploring NLP challenges
- Reviewing the most popular models’ hubs
Let’s start from the first step, exploring the NLP workflow.
Exploring the NLP workflow
The following figure shows the simplest NLP workflow:
