Natural language, the form of communication we use in everyday life, is a fascinating and complex subject that has captured the attention of researchers and scholars for centuries. Language is the primary mode of communication, and it is the subject of much study and analysis within the domain of linguistics. As technology has advanced, researchers have been gifted with the tools to begin developing computer programs that allow computers to process natural language, giving rise to the field of natural language processing (NLP). NLP allows computers to understand and produce human language, opening up new possibilities for human-computer interaction.
