Natural language processing (NLP) enables computers to understand and interpret human language, encompassing tasks like translation and sentiment analysis. It includes components such as natural language understanding (NLU), which interprets language, and natural language generation (NLG), which produces text. The challenges in NLP are significant due to linguistic complexities, yet its applications can vastly improve human-computer interaction.

- 5. NLP Tools: MonkeyLearn: • platform for text analysis, allowing users to get actionable data from text. • provides instant data visualizations and detailed insights for when customers want to run analysis on their data. • Customers can choose from a selection of ready- machine machine learning models or build and train their own. OpenAI: • used for NLP tasks such as text classification, sentiment analysis, language translation, text generation, and question answering.

- 8. Natural Language Understanding (NLU) • deals with the ability of computers to understand human language • Mapping the given input in natural language into useful representations. • Analyzing different aspects of the language.
- 9. Natural Language Generation (NLG) In many of the most interesting problems in natural language processing, language is the output. Natural language generation focuses on three main scenarios: It involves – Text planning − It includes retrieving the relevant content from knowledge base. Sentence planning − It includes choosing required words, forming meaningful phrases, setting tone of the sentence. Text Realization − It is mapping sentence plan into sentence structure.
- 10. Difficulties in NLU The NLU is harder than NLG. NL has an extremely rich form and structure. Lexical ambiguity − It is at very primitive level such as word-level. For example: treating the word “board” as noun or verb? Syntax Level ambiguity − A sentence can be parsed in different ways. For example: “He lifted the beetle with red cap.” − Did he use cap to lift the beetle or he lifted a beetle that had red cap? Referential ambiguity − Referring to something using pronouns. For example, Rima went to Gauri. She said, “I am tired.” − Exactly who is tired? • One input can mean different meanings. • Many inputs can mean the same thing.
- 11. Steps of NLP Lexical Analysis − • identifying and analyzing the structure of words. • dividing the whole chunk of txt into paragraphs, sentences, and words. Syntactic Analysis (Parsing) − • analysis of words in the sentence for grammar • arranging words in a manner that shows the relationship among the words. • The sentence such as “The school goes to boy” is rejected by English syntactic analyzer. • CFG and Parsing. Semantic Analysis − • The text is checked for meaningfulness. • The semantic analyzer disregards sentence such as “hot ice-cream”. Discourse Integration − • The meaning of any sentence depends upon the meaning of the sentence just before it. In addition, it also brings about the meaning of immediately succeeding sentence. Pragmatic Analysis − • what was said is re-interpreted on what it actually meant.
- 12. Context-Free Grammar The rewrite rules or grammer for the sentence are as follows − S → NP VP NP → DET N | DET ADJ N VP → V NP Lexocon − DET → a | the ADJ → beautiful | perching N → bird | birds | grain | grains V → peck | pecks | pecking The parse tree can be created as shown − It is the grammar that consists rules with a single symbol on the left-hand side of the rewrite rules. Let us create grammar to parse a sentence − “The bird pecks the grains” • The parse tree breaks down the sentence into structured parts so that the computer can easily understand and process it.
- 13. Top-Down Parser • the parser starts with the S symbol • attempts to rewrite it into a sequence of terminal symbols that matches the classes of the words in the input sentence until it consists entirely of terminal symbols • checked with the input sentence to see if it matched • If not, the process is started over again with a different set of rules. • repeated until a specific rule is found which describes the structure of the sentence.
- 14. Benefits of natural language processing • By enabling computers to understand human language, interacting with computers becomes much more intuitive for humans. • improved accuracy and efficiency of documentation; • ability to automatically make a readable summary of a larger, more complex original text; • useful for personal assistants such as Alexa, by enabling it to understand spoken word; • enables an organization to use chatbots for customer support; • easier to perform sentiment analysis; and • provides advanced insights from analytics that were previously unreachable due to data volume.
