AI Incorporating NLP – to Boldly Go, Where No Algorithms Have Gone Before

This document is about understanding Natural Language Processing (NLP) - an area of research and application intended to explore how machines or computers can be used to understand and manipulate natural language text or speech conveyed by humans. In other words, it is discipline that focuses on understanding and interpreting raw or structured data which are in form of speech or text into meaningful interpretation. In recent times, NLP is trending technology and hot spot for researchers and technology experts. With exponentially growing data every day, NLP has already emerged as powerful technique in the history of mankind. NLP breaks down language into shorter tokens and attempts to understand the relationship between tokens. The foundations of NLP lie in several disciplines, namely, computer and information sciences, linguistics, mathematics, artificial intelligence and robotics, electrical and electronic engineering psychology and electrical and electronic engineering. This paper discusses about Techniques, Uses, Mathematics behind NLP and trending research on NLP with established real time examples.
