Natural language processing is a sub-field of computer science, information engineering, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human languages, in particular how to program computers to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data.

The development of NLP applications is challenging because computers traditionally require humans to “speak” to them in a programming language that is precise, unambiguous and highly structured, or through a limited number of clearly enunciated voice commands. Human speech, however, is not always precise – it is often ambiguous and the linguistic structure can depend on many complex variables, including slang, regional dialects and social context.

Challenges in natural language processing frequently involve speech recognition, natural language understanding, and natural language generation.
