What is Natural language processing (NLP)?

Also called: NLP, computational linguistics

Natural language processing is the field in which computers read, understand and produce human language.

Example

Spell checking, translation and sorting customer emails by topic are classic NLP tasks.

For pros

NLP used to rely on rules and statistics; today it mostly uses large language models. Typical tasks are classification, extraction, translation, summarisation and dialogue. Many languages have less training data, so quality varies by language.
