Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages. As a subfield of linguistics, NLP is concerned with the formalization of natural languages in order to facilitate their processing by computers (and ultimately, by AI systems). As a subfield of computer science, NLP is concerned with the development of techniques for processing, understanding, and generating natural language. As a subfield of artificial intelligence, NLP is concerned with the development of software agents that can communicate with humans in natural language.
