Natural language processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP) in AI refers to the use of computational techniques to analyze, understand, and generate human language. NLP enables computers to interact with humans in a natural and meaningful way, allowing them to process and respond to text or speech data.

Some common tasks in NLP include:

1. Text Classification
Assigning labels or categories to text based on its content. This is used in spam detection, sentiment analysis, and topic classification.

2. Named Entity Recognition (NER)
 Identifying and classifying named entities in text, such as names of persons, organizations, and locations.

3. Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging
 Assigning grammatical categories (e.g., noun, verb, adjective) to words in a sentence.

4. Sentiment Analysis
 Determining the sentiment or emotional tone expressed in text, such as positive, negative, or neutral.

5. Machine Translation
Translating text from one language to another.

6. Text Summarization
 Generating a concise summary of a longer piece of text.

7. Speech Recognition
 Converting spoken language into text.

8. Question Answering
Generating answers to questions posed in natural language.

NLP relies on various techniques, including statistical models, machine learning, and deep learning, to process and analyze language data. Recent advancements in NLP, particularly with the introduction of transformer models like BERT and GPT, have significantly improved the accuracy and performance of NLP systems, enabling them to perform complex language tasks with human-like accuracy.

Language modelling

Language modeling in AI is the task of predicting the next word or character in a sequence of words or characters in a given context. Language models are a fundamental component of many natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as machine translation, speech recognition, and text generation. The goal of language modeling is to learn the probability distribution over sequences of words or characters in a language. This involves capturing the syntactic and semantic structures of the language, as well as the dependencies between words or characters. Language models can be categorized into two main types: 1. Statistical Language Models  These models use statistical methods to estimate the probability of a word or character given its context. N-gram models are a common example of statistical language models, where the probability of a word is estimated based on the previous N-1 words. 2. Neural Language Models  These models use neural networks, such as recurrent neural networks...
