Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a term used in the fields of artificial intelligence and digital transformation. It describes methods that enable computers to understand, process and use human language.
We often encounter natural language processing (NLP) in everyday life without realising it. One well-known example is voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa. With their help, we can ask questions or give commands by voice - and the system understands what we mean. The automatic spell checker or translation function on Google also works with NLP technologies.
The aim of NLP is to interpret texts or spoken words in the same way as a human would. Computers learn to filter out important information, recognise moods or even summarise entire texts. This makes communication between humans and machines more comprehensible and efficient.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is now an important building block for many digital applications and helps companies to analyse large volumes of text data quickly and meaningfully - for example, to evaluate customer feedback or automate processes.
