Abstract
Natural language processing (NLP) aims to make computers process human languages. NLP has a wide variety of applications today. You may already be using them when you are buying a book on Amazon, talking to Google Assistant or Siri when checking the weather, or talking to an automated chat agent when seeking customer service. In this chapter, we start with an overview of NLP and discuss NLP applications, key concepts, various NLP tasks, how to create models, the Python and R NLP libraries, and case studies.
