Data Science: Natural Language Processing (Definitions)

"Using software to 'understand' the meaning contained within texts. Everyday speech is broken down into patterns. Typically, these systems employ syntactic analysis to infer the semantic meaning embedded in documents. NLP identifies patterns in sample texts and makes predictions about unseen texts." (Craig F Smith & H Peter Alesso, "Thinking on the Web: Berners-Lee, Gödel and Turing", 2008)

"Use of computers to interpret and manipulate words as part of a language." (Dougal Hutchison, "Automated Essay Scoring Systems", 2009)

"It is a subfield of Computational Linguistics (i.e. the field that researches linguistics phenomena that occur in digital data), whose focus is on how to build automatic systems able to interpret/generate information in natural language." (Diana Pérez-Marín et al, "Adaptive Computer Assisted Assessment", 2010)

"the notion that the context of text can be inferred from the text itself." (Daniel Linstedt & W H Inmon, "Data Architecture: A Primer for the Data Scientist", 2014)

"An area of computer science involved with the computational study of human languages." (Jason Williamson, "Getting a Big Data Job For Dummies", 2015)

"Similarly to text mining, NLP is a multidisciplinary research field of computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics. However, it mainly focuses on the interaction between computers and human languages." (Hamid R Arabnia et al, "Application of Big Data for National Security", 2015)

"Natural Language Processing is prevalently used to analyse the text or speech in order to make machine understand the words like human." (Anumeera Balamurali & Balamurali Ananthanarayanan,"Develop a Neural Model to Score Bigram of Words Using Bag-of-Words Model for Sentiment Analysis", 2020)

 "Natural language processing is the ability of computer program to understand human language as it is spoken or handwritten." (Neha Garg & Kamlesh Sharma, "Machine Learning in Text Analysis", 2020)

"NLP is a field of computer science and linguistics focused on techniques and algorithms for processing data, continuing natural language." (Alex Thomas, "Natural Language Processing with Spark NLP", 2020)

"NLP is a Linguistic approach to interact with human language and computer. This field comes under Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science." (Sayani Ghosal & Amita Jain, "Research Journey of Hate Content Detection From Cyberspace", 2021)

"a field of computer science involved with interactions between computers and human languages." (Analytics Insight)

"is a field of computer science, with the goal to understand or generate human languages, either in text or speech form. There are two primary sub fields of NLP, Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and Natural Language Generation (NLG)." (Accenture)
