Natural language processing (NLP) involves analyzing and understanding human language to allow interaction between computers and humans. The document outlines key steps in NLP including morphological analysis, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, and pragmatic analysis to convert text into structured representations. It also discusses statistical NLP and real-world applications such as machine translation, question answering, and speech recognition.
Natural language processing (NLP) involves developing systems that allow computers to understand and communicate using human language. NLP aims to understand syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It addresses challenges like ambiguity, where a sentence can have multiple possible meanings. Syntactic parsing is the process of analyzing a sentence's structure using a context-free grammar to produce a parse tree. Top-down and bottom-up parsing are two approaches to syntactic parsing where top-down starts with the start symbol and bottom-up starts with the sentence's terminal symbols.
Natural language processing (NLP) is introduced, including its definition, common steps like morphological analysis and syntactic analysis, and applications like information extraction and machine translation. Statistical NLP aims to perform statistical inference for NLP tasks. Real-world applications of NLP are discussed, such as automatic summarization, information retrieval, question answering and speech recognition. A demo of a free NLP application is presented at the end.

Natural Language processing Parts of speech tagging, its classes, and how to ...Rajnish Raj
Part of speech (POS) tagging is the process of assigning a part of speech tag like noun, verb, adjective to each word in a sentence. It involves determining the most likely tag sequence given the probabilities of tags occurring before or after other tags, and words occurring with certain tags. POS tagging is the first step in many NLP applications and helps determine the grammatical role of words. It involves calculating bigram and lexical probabilities from annotated corpora to find the tag sequence with the highest joint probability.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is often taught at the academic level from the perspective of computational linguists. However, as data scientists, we have a richer view of the world of natural language - unstructured data that by its very nature has important latent information for humans. NLP practitioners have benefitted from machine learning techniques to unlock meaning from large corpora, and in this class we’ll explore how to do that particularly with Python, the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), and to a lesser extent, the Gensim Library.
NLTK is an excellent library for machine learning-based NLP, written in Python by experts from both academia and industry. Python allows you to create rich data applications rapidly, iterating on hypotheses. Gensim provides vector-based topic modeling, which is currently absent in both NLTK and Scikit-Learn. The combination of Python + NLTK means that you can easily add language-aware data products to your larger analytical workflows and applications.

This is an update of a talk I originally gave in 2010. I had intended to make a wholesale update to all the slides, but noticed that one of them was worth keeping verbatim: a snapshot of the state of the art back then (see slide 38). Less than a decade has passed since then but there are some interesting and noticeable changes. For example, there was no word2vec, GloVe or fastText, or any of the neurally-inspired distributed representations and frameworks that are now so popular. Also no mention of sentiment analysis (maybe that was an oversight on my part, but I rather think that what we perceive as a commodity technology now was just not sufficiently mainstream back then).
Also if you compare with Jurafsky and Martin's current take on the state of the art (see slide 39), you could argue that POS tagging, NER, IE and MT have all made significant progress too (which I would agree with). I am not sure I share their view that summarisation is in the 'still really hard' category; but like many things, it depends on how & where you set the quality bar.

Deep Learning for NLP: An Introduction to Neural Word EmbeddingsRoelof Pieters
Deep learning uses neural networks with multiple layers to learn representations of data with multiple levels of abstraction. Word embeddings represent words as dense vectors in a vector space such that words with similar meanings have similar vectors. Recursive neural tensor networks learn compositional distributed representations of phrases and sentences according to the parse tree by combining the vector representations of constituent words according to the tree structure. This allows modeling the meaning of complex expressions based on the meanings of their parts and the rules for combining them.

1. Sense relation is a paradigmatic relation between words or predicates that results from the semantic relatedness between forms and meanings.
2. There are several types of sense relations, including synonymy (words with the same meaning), polysemy (words with multiple meanings), hyponymy (more specific terms that fall under a more general term), and antonyms (words with opposite meanings).
3. Semantics is the study of meaning in language. Word meanings can be classified in different ways, including referential, associative, connotative, social, affective, and reflected meanings.
The document discusses natural language processing (NLP), which is a subfield of artificial intelligence that aims to allow computers to understand and interpret human language. It provides an introduction to NLP and its history, describes common areas of NLP research like text processing and machine translation, and discusses potential applications and the future of the field. The document is presented as a slideshow on NLP by an expert in the area.
This document discusses finite state machines (FSMs), specifically Moore and Mealy machines. It defines FSMs as circuits with a combinational block and memory block that can exist in multiple states, transitioning between states based on inputs. Moore machines output depends solely on the current state, while Mealy machines output depends on both the current state and inputs. Moore machines are safer since output only changes at clock edges, while Mealy machines are faster since output relies on inputs. Choosing between them depends on factors like whether synchronous/asynchronous operation is needed and whether speed or safety is a higher priority.
The document discusses different approaches to machine translation, including rule-based, statistical, example-based, and dictionary-based approaches. It provides details on each approach, such as rule-based methods using linguistic rules and extensive lexicons, statistical methods relying on probabilistic models trained on parallel texts, example-based methods translating by analogy to examples in aligned corpora, and dictionary-based methods translating words directly with or without morphological analysis. The document also compares transfer-based and interlingual rule-based machine translation, noting interlingual methods aim to represent the source text independently of languages.
The document discusses natural language and natural language processing (NLP). It defines natural language as languages used for everyday communication like English, Japanese, and Swahili. NLP is concerned with enabling computers to understand and interpret natural languages. The summary explains that NLP involves morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analysis of text to extract meaning and understand context. The goal of NLP is to allow humans to communicate with computers using their own language.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that aims to help computers understand human language. NLP involves analyzing text at different levels, including morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, and pragmatics. The goal is to map language to meaning by breaking down sentences into syntactic structures and assigning semantic representations based on context. Key steps include part-of-speech tagging, parsing sentences into trees, resolving references between sentences, and determining intended meaning and appropriate actions. Together, these allow computers to interpret and respond to natural human language.
This document discusses natural language processing (NLP) and provides summaries of key concepts:
1) NLP aims to help computers understand and manipulate human language to perform useful tasks by drawing on linguistics, computer science, and other fields.
2) There are four main approaches to NLP: symbolic, statistical, connectionist, and hybrid methods.
3) NLP has many applications including automatic essay scoring, requirements analysis, controlling home devices with voice commands, semantic web services, and detecting social engineering attacks in email.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) involves several key steps to understand written or spoken language computationally. These include morphological analysis to break down words, syntactic analysis to parse sentences into hierarchical structures, semantic analysis to assign meaning, and pragmatic analysis to understand intended meaning. Together these steps aim to build a computational model of language that can communicate about the real world. The document provides examples and explanations of each processing step.
The best known natural language processing tool is GPT-3, from OpenAI, which uses AI and statistics to predict the next word in a sentence based on the preceding words. NLP practitioners call tools like this “language models,” and they can be used for simple analytics tasks, such as classifying documents and analyzing the sentiment in blocks of text, as well as more advanced tasks, such as answering questions and summarizing reports. Language models are already reshaping traditional text analytics, but GPT-3 was an especially pivotal language model because, at 10x larger than any previous model upon release, it was the first large language model, which enabled it to perform even more advanced tasks like programming and solving high school–level math problems. The latest version, called InstructGPT, has been fine-tuned by humans to generate responses that are much better aligned with human values and user intentions, and Google’s latest model shows further impressive breakthroughs on language and reasoning.
For businesses, the three areas where GPT-3 has appeared most promising are writing, coding, and discipline-specific reasoning. OpenAI, the Microsoft-funded creator of GPT-3, has developed a GPT-3-based language model intended to act as an assistant for programmers by generating code from natural language input. This tool, Codex, is already powering products like Copilot for Microsoft’s subsidiary GitHub and is capable of creating a basic video game simply by typing instructions. This transformative capability was already expected to change the nature of how programmers do their jobs, but models continue to improve — the latest from Google’s DeepMind AI lab, for example, demonstrates the critical thinking and logic skills necessary to outperform most humans in programming competitions.
Models like GPT-3 are considered to be foundation models — an emerging AI research area — which also work for other types of data such as images and video. Foundation models can even be trained on multiple forms of data at the same time, like OpenAI’s DALL·E 2, which is trained on language and images to generate high-resolution renderings of imaginary scenes or objects simply from text prompts. Due to their potential to transform the nature of cognitive work, economists expect that foundation models may affect every part of the economy and could lead to increases in economic growth similar to the industrial revolution.
Natural language processing (NLP) refers to technologies that allow computers to understand, interpret and generate human language. NLP aims to allow non-programmers to obtain information from or give commands to computers using natural human languages. NLP involves analyzing text at morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels to determine meaning. It is used for applications like search engines, voice assistants, summarization and translation. While progress has been made, NLP still faces challenges like ambiguity, idioms and connecting language to perception. The future of NLP is linked to advances in artificial intelligence to develop more human-like language abilities in machines.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) involves using computational techniques to analyze and understand human languages. Key techniques in NLP include sentiment analysis to classify emotions in text, text classification to categorize text into predefined tags or categories, and tokenization which breaks text into discrete words and punctuation. NLP is used to teach machines how to read and understand human languages by identifying relationships between words and entities. Other areas of NLP include parts of speech tagging, constituent structure analysis, and analysis of pronunciation, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

Chapter 2 Text Operation and Term Weighting.pdfJemalNesre1
Zipf's law describes the frequency distribution of words in natural language corpora. It states that the frequency of any word is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. Most words have low frequency, while a few words are used very frequently. Heap's law estimates how vocabulary size grows with corpus size, at a sub-linear rate. Text preprocessing techniques like stopword removal and stemming aim to reduce noise by excluding non-discriminative words from indexes.

Natural Language Processing: A comprehensive overviewBenjaminlapid1
Natural language processing enhances human-computer interaction by bridging the language gap. Uncover its applications and techniques in this comprehensive overview. Dive in now!
Natural language processing (NLP) is a way for computers to analyze, understand, and derive meaning from human language. NLP utilizes machine learning to automatically learn rules by analyzing large datasets rather than requiring hand-coding of rules. Common NLP tasks include summarization, translation, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and speech recognition. NLP works by applying algorithms to identify and extract natural language rules to convert unstructured language into a form computers can understand. Main techniques used in NLP are syntactic analysis to assess language alignment with grammar rules and semantic analysis to understand meaning and interpretation of words.
Natural language processing (NLP) involves developing systems that can process and understand human language. This document discusses NLP tools and techniques for representing text numerically so it can be analyzed by machine learning algorithms. It covers topics like tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, vector space models, term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) weighting, and word embeddings which represent words as dense vectors of numbers. Popular Python libraries for NLP and text analysis are also introduced.
NLP stands for Natural Language Processing which is a field of artificial intelligence that helps machines understand, interpret and manipulate human language. The key developments in NLP include machine translation in the 1940s-1960s, the introduction of artificial intelligence concepts in 1960-1980s and the use of machine learning algorithms after 1980. Modern NLP involves applications like speech recognition, machine translation and text summarization. It consists of natural language understanding to analyze language and natural language generation to produce language. While NLP has advantages like providing fast answers, it also has challenges like ambiguity and limited ability to understand context.

3. Definition & Introduction
Natural language processing (NLP) is a field
of computer science and linguistics concerned
with the interactions between computers and
human (natural) languages
Why Natural Language Processing ?
Huge amounts of data
◦ Internet = at least 20 billions pages
◦ Intranet
Applications for processing large
amounts of texts
require NLP expertise
4. Definition & Introduction
We look at how we can exploit knowledge
about the world, in combination with linguistic
facts, to build computational natural language
systems.
Natural language generation systems convert
information from computer databases into
readable human language, Natural language
understanding systems convert samples of
human language into more formal
representations such as parse trees or first-
order logic structures that are easier for
computer programs to manipulate
5. Steps in NLP
Phonetics, Phonology: how Word are prononce
in termes of sequences of sounds
Morphological Analysis: Individual words are
analyzed into their components and non word
tokens such as punctuation are separated from
the words.
Syntactic Analysis: Linear sequences of words
are transformed into structures that show how the
words relate to each other.
Semantic Analysis: The structures created by the
syntactic analyzer are assigned meanings.
Discourse integration: The meaning of an
individual sentence may depend on the sentences
that precede it and may influence the meanings of
the sentences that follow it.
Pragmatic Analysis: The structure representing
what was said is reinterpreted to determine what
was actually meant.
6. Phonetics
Study of the physical sounds of human speech
◦ /i:/, /ɜ:/, /ɔ:/, /ɑ:/ and /u:/
◦ 'there' => /ðeə/
◦ 'there on the table' => /ðeər ɒn ðə teɪbl /
•Transcription of sounds (IPA)
7. Phonetic
Articulory phonetics : production
• Auditory phonetics : speech perception
– McGurk effect
• Acoustics phonetics: properties of sound
waves (frequency and harmonics)
8. Morphological Analysis
Suppose we have an english interface to an
operating system and the following sentence is
typed:
◦ I want to print Bill’s .init file.
Morphological analysis must do the following
things:
◦ Pull apart the word “Bill’s” into proper noun “Bill” and the
possessive suffix “’s”
◦ Recognize the sequence “.init” as a file extension that is
functioning as an adjective in the sentence.
This process will usually assign syntactic
categories to all the words in the sentence.
Consider the word “prints”. This word is either a
plural noun or a third person singular verb ( he
prints ).
9. Syntactic Analysis
Syntactic analysis must exploit the results of morphological
analysis to build a structural description of the sentence.
The goal of this process, called parsing, is to convert the
flat list of words that forms the sentence into a structure
that defines the units that are represented by that flat list.
The important thing here is that a flat sentence has been
converted into a hierarchical structure and that the
structure correspond to meaning units when semantic
analysis is performed.
Reference markers are shown in the parenthesis in the
parse tree
Each one corresponds to some entity that has been
mentioned in the sentence.
10. Syntactic Analysis
Syntactic Processing :
Almost all the systems that are
actually used have two main
components:
◦ A declarative representation, called a
grammar, of the syntactic facts about the
language.
◦ A procedure, called parser, that compares
the grammar against input sentences to
produce parsed structures.
11. Syntactic Analysis
Grammars and Parsers :
The most common way to represent grammars is as a set of production rules.
A simple Context-free phrase structure grammar fro English:
S → NP VP
NP → the NP1
NP → PRO
NP → PN
NP → NP1
NP1 → ADJS N
ADJS → ε | ADJ ADJS
VP → V
VP → V NP
N → file | printer
PN → Bill
PRO → I
ADJ → short | long | fast
V → printed | created | want
First rule can be read as “ A sentence is composed of a noun phrase followed by Verb
Phrase”; Vertical bar is OR ; ε represnts empty string.
Symbols that are further expanded by rules are called nonterminal symbols.
Symbols that correspond directly to strings that must be found in an input sentence are called
terminal symbols.
13. Syntactic Analysis
A parse tree :
John ate the apple.
1. S -> NP VP
2. VP -> V NP
3. NP -> NAME
4. NP -> ART N
5. NAME -> John
6. V -> ate
7. ART-> the
8. N -> apple
S
NP VP
NAME
John
V
ate
NP
ART N
the apple
14. Semantic Analysis
Semantic analysis must do two
important things:
◦ It must map individual words into
appropriate objects in the knowledge
base or database
◦ It must create the correct structures to
correspond to the way the meanings of
the individual words combine with each
other.
15. Semantic Analysis
Lexical processing :
The first step in any semantic processing system is to look up
the individual words in a dictionary ( or lexicon) and extract
their meanings.
Many words have several meanings, and it may not be
possible to choose the correct one just by looking at the word
itself.
The process of determining the correct meaning of an
individual word is called word sense disambiguation or lexical
disambiguation.
It is done by associating, with each word in lexicon,
information about the contexts in which each of the word’s
senses may appear.
Sometimes only very straightforward info about each word
sense is necessary. For example, baseball field interpretation
of diamond could be marked as a LOCATION.
Some useful semantic markers are :
◦ PHYSICAL-OBJECT
◦ ANIMATE-OBJECT
◦ ABSTRACT-OBJECT
16. Semantic Analysis
Word Net (common sense
KnowledgBase) :
A database of lexical relations.
Inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of
human lexical memory.
Synset: a set of synonyms, representing one
underlying lexical concept
◦ Example:
fool {chump, fish, fool, gull, mark, patsy, fall
guy, sucker, schlemiel, shlemiel, soft touch,
mug}
Relations link the synsets: hypernym, Has-
Member, Member-Of, Antonym, etc.

18. Discourse Integration
Specifically we do not know whom the
pronoun “I” or the proper noun “Bill” refers
to.
To pin down these references requires an
appeal to a model of the current discourse
context, from which we can learn that the
current user is USER068 and that the only
person named “Bill” about whom we could
be talking is USER073.
Once the correct referent for Bill is known,
we can also determine exactly which file is
being referred to.
19. Pragmatic Analysis
The final step toward effective understanding is to decide
what to do as a results.
One possible thing to do is to record what was said as a fact
and be done with it.
For some sentences, whose intended effect is clearly
declarative, that is precisely correct thing to do.
But for other sentences, including this one, the intended effect
is different.
We can discover this intended effect by applying a set of rules
that characterize cooperative dialogues.
The final step in pragmatic processing is to translate, from the
knowledge based representation to a command to be
executed by the system.
The results of the understanding process is
20. Pragmatic Analysis
Knowledge about the kind of actions
that speakers intend by their use of
sentences
◦ REQUEST: HAL, open the pod bay door.
◦ STATEMENT: HAL, the pod bay door is
open.
◦ INFORMATION QUESTION: HAL, is the
pod bay door open?
Speech act analysis (politeness, irony,
greeting, apologizing...)
21. Statistical NLP
Statistical NLP aims to perform
statistical inference for the field of NLP
Statistical inference consists of taking
some data generated in accordance
with some unknown probability
distribution and making inferences.
22. Motivations for Statistical NLP
Cognitive modeling of the human language
processing has not reached a stage where
we can have a complete mapping between
the language signal and the information
contents.
Complete mapping is not always required.
Statistical approach provides the flexibility
required for making the modeling of a
language more accurate.
23. Real World Application
Automatic summarization
Foreign language reading aid
Foreign language writing aid
Information extraction
Information retrieval (IR) - IR is concerned with storing, searching
and retrieving information. It is a separate field within computer
science (closer to databases), but IR relies on some NLP methods
(for example, stemming). Some current research and applications
seek to bridge the gap between IR and NLP.
Machine translation - Automatically translating from one human
language to another.
Named entity recognition (NER) - Given a stream of text,
determining which items in the text map to proper names, such as
people or places. Although in English, named entities are marked
with capitalized words, many other languages do not use
capitalization to distinguish named entities.
Natural language generation
Natural language search
24. Real World Application
Natural language understanding
Optical character recognition
anaphora resolution
Query expansion
Question answering - Given a human language question, the
task of producing a human-language answer. The question
may be a closed-ended (such as "What is the capital of
Canada?") or open-ended (such as "What is the meaning of
life?").
Speech recognition - Given a sound clip of a person or
people speaking, the task of producing a text dictation of the
speaker(s). (The opposite of text to speech.)
