About NLP
Natural language processing is a computer application that can understand human language. It is a part of AI. It is a computerized technique in which human communication is analyzed and interpreted based on a set of theories and technologies by the computer. It is both based on text and speech provided to the computer. Currently, NLP approaches are based on machine learning that uses patterns for understanding own programs. The most common NLP in all the software packages includes:
• Sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, and parsing
• Deep analytics
• Named entity extraction
• Co-reference resolution

The goal of NLP is to reduce the time for understanding computer languages such as Java, C, C++, and Ruby.

The development of NLP solutions is difficult because computers need humans to speak in a programming language that needs to be precise, unambiguous, and highly structured with less amount of enunciated voice commands. However, human speech cannot be precise, and it is often ambiguous and depend on variables that include slang, regional dialects, and social context.
