Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows intelligent machines to communicate using natural language such as English.
Natural language processing is essential when you want an intelligent system, such as a robot, to follow your commands, when you want to hear a decision from a dialogue-based clinical expert system, and so on.
The topic of natural language processing (NLP) entails programming computers to accomplish useful activities using the natural languages that humans use. An NLP system's input and output can be anything.
