When you take AI and focus it on human linguistics , the result is natural language processing ( NLP ). It is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables machines to understand the human language and its goal is to make sense of text and automatically perform tasks such as translations , spell check and subject classification . Basically , it enables computers to understand , interpret and manipulate human languages .
Its roots are in linguistics and speech recognition where it emerged to enable computers to literally process natural language and may use machine learning , as well as deep learning to effectively process speech and text datasets .
Despite the fact that NLP usually is used in many consumer applications , it also has significant implications for organisational IT . This is because of our use of email , chatbots , social media feeds , and documentation like contracts and claims forms . It categorises content , analyses sentiments , and summarises documents and can be broken down into other tasks based on the enterprise ’ s needs .
