Introduction to Natural Language Processing Heshaam Faili University of Tehran

2 What is Language? Formal Description A Set of Symbols which … Psychological Description A communication tools Empirical Description A set of following items How are you? Are you ok? I am going to.. …

3 What is NLP? Natural Language Processing (NLP) Computers use (analyze, understand, generate) natural language A somewhat applied field Computational Linguistics (CL) Computational aspects of the human language faculty More theoretical

4 Why Study NLP? Human language interesting & challenging NLP offers insights into language Language is the medium of the web Interdisciplinary: Ling, CS, psych, math Help in communication With computers (ASR, TTS) With other humans (MT) Ambitious yet practical

5 Goals of NLP Scientific Goal Identify the computational machinery needed for an agent to exhibit various forms of linguistic behavior Engineering Goal Design, implement, and test systems that process natural languages for practical applications

6 Applications speech processing: get flight information or book a hotel over the phone information extraction: discover names of people and events they participate in, from a document machine translation: translate a document from one human language into another question answering: find answers to natural language questions in a text collection or database summarization: generate a short biography of Noam Chomsky from one or more news articles
