Introduction
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the goal of enabling computers to understand and manipulate human language in order to perform useful tasks. Within this area, there are two sections: Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG).
In recent years, AI has changed the way machines interact with humans. AI helps people solve complex equations by performing tasks such as recommending a movie according to your tastes (recommender systems). Thanks to the high performance of GPUs and the huge amount of data available, it's possible to create intelligent systems that are capable of learning and behaving like humans.
There are many libraries that aim to help with the creation of these systems. In this chapter, we will review the most famous Python libraries to extract and clean information from raw text. You may consider this task complex, but a complete understanding and interpretation of the language is a difficult...
