Chapter 11Natural Language Processing
Natural language processing is an enormously broad subject, but in essence it covers any task in which we attempt to use a computer to understand human language. That might mean using a program to extract meaning from text written by a human—to translate it, to determine its subject, or to parse its grammar. Or it might mean using a computer to actually write text for humans to read—think of a computer working as a journalist, writing summaries of sports games, financial events, and so on.
