The present era of information technology makes use of natural
language—the language we use every day for communication—for human-computer
interaction. Natural Language Processing, often known as NLP, has recently attracted a
lot of attention because of the fact that it can computationally represent and analyze
human language. It is currently applicable in a wide range of contexts, including
machine translation, the detection of spam in email, the collection and summarization
of information, the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, and the response to
questions. The chapter delineates several phases of NLP and provides the background
and development of NLP, and cutting-edge NLP techniques by showcasing the
numerous NLP applications, current trends, and potential future directions.
Keywords: Applications of NLP, Natural Language Generation (NLG), Natural Language Processing (NLP).
