Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a meaningful way. It combines computational linguistics, machine learning, and deep learning to process text and speech data for various tasks. Common NLP applications include language translation, sentiment analysis, chatbots, voice assistants, text summarization, spell checking, and information extraction from documents.
