Introduction to NLP and Machine Learning

What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables computers to learn from data and

make decisions without being explicitly programmed.

Types of Machine Learning:

- Supervised Learning: Learns from labeled data (e.g., spam detection).

- Unsupervised Learning: Learns from unlabeled data (e.g., customer segmentation).

- Reinforcement Learning: Learns through rewards and penalties (e.g., game agents).

What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field at the intersection of linguistics, computer science, and AI

focused on enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

Key NLP Tasks:

- Tokenization

- Part-of-Speech Tagging

- Named Entity Recognition (NER)

- Sentiment Analysis

- Machine Translation

Relationship Between NLP and ML

Machine learning is a core technique used to solve NLP tasks. Instead of writing rules, ML models learn from

vast amounts of text data. For example, instead of coding how to detect 'happiness,' models are trained on

positive/negative examples and learn to detect sentiment.

Applications of NLP

NLP is used across many domains:

- Social Media: Sentiment analysis

- E-commerce: Chatbots, recommendations

- Healthcare: Clinical text analysis

- Education: Automated essay grading
