Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a pivotal field within artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. It encompasses the development of algorithms and systems capable of understanding, interpreting, and generating human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful. NLP plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between human communication and machine understanding, enabling computers to process and analyze vast amounts of natural language data. Through the application of NLP, machines can perform tasks such as language translation, sentiment analysis, and text summarization, thus making human-computer interactions more intuitive and efficient.
