What is Natural Language Processing?

We use natural language everyday to communicate with each other. Even though language is varied, people can mostly understand what other people are saying.

The increase of digital text and voice data has led to the rise of a technology called Natural Language Processing. This is a field of computer science which trains computers to ‘understand’ natural language.

It is an advancing technology which can even in some cases understand the intent and sentiment behind words. As a result, it’s used in several day-to-day tools.

In this course, we'll learn how natural language processing works, why it’s a challenge, and some examples of its use.

The course finishes with some knowledge-check questions, to help you reflect on what you've learned.
