Natural Language Processing (NLP) bridges human language and computers, enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate text. It powers AI advancements like Siri and Google Translate.

Introduction to NLP

• Bridges human language and computers
• Enables machines to understand, interpret, generate text
• Powers AI advancements like Siri, Google Translate

The "History of NLP" timeline slide traces key milestones from the 1950s Turing Test and 1960s ELIZA chatbot through 1990s statistical methods and 2010s deep learning advances. It culminates in 2017's Transformers revolution via the "Attention is All You Need" paper introducing BERT and GPT architectures.

History of NLP

1950s: Turing Test Proposed Alan Turing introduces test for machine intelligence via human-like conversation. 1960s: ELIZA Chatbot Created Joseph Weizenbaum develops first chatbot mimicking a psychotherapist. 1990s: Statistical Methods Emerge Shift from rule-based systems to probabilistic models in NLP. 2010s: Deep Learning Boom Word embeddings and neural networks transform NLP performance. 2017: Transformers Revolutionize NLP Attention is All You Need paper introduces BERT and GPT architectures.

The "Core Concepts" slide outlines key linguistic elements: syntax for sentence structure and rules, semantics for meaning and interpretation, and pragmatics for context, intent, and implied meaning. It also covers corpus as large text collections and ambiguity resolution for handling multiple interpretations.

Core Concepts

• Syntax: Structure and rules of sentence formation
• Semantics: Meaning and interpretation of language
• Pragmatics: Context, intent, and implied meaning
• Corpus: Large collections of text data
• Ambiguity resolution: Handling multiple interpretations

The slide "Key Techniques" features a table outlining four core NLP preprocessing methods. It covers tokenization (splitting text into words/tokens), stemming (reducing words to roots like running→run), lemmatization (canonical forms like better→good), and POS tagging (identifying parts of speech).

Key Techniques
