Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a term from the fields of artificial intelligence and digital transformation. It describes methods with which computers can understand, process, and apply human language.
In everyday life, we often encounter Natural Language Processing (NLP) without even realising it. A well-known example is voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. With their help, we can ask questions or give commands by voice – and the system understands what we mean. Similarly, automatic spell checking and Google's translation function work with NLP technologies.
The goal of NLP is to interpret texts or spoken words in the same way a human would. Computers learn to filter out important information, recognise sentiments, or even summarise entire texts. This makes communication between humans and machines more understandable and efficient.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an important building block for many digital applications today and helps companies to quickly and meaningfully evaluate large amounts of text data – for example, to analyse customer feedback or to automate processes.
