 ===Definition===
-Natural Language Processing is a field of computer science that deals with text from human languages, both spoken and written. One common task is translating spoken words to written text. A relatively well-solved problem is part-of-speech tagging, where a computer can correctly identify the parts of speech of each word in a sentence. There are many other applications of natural language processing, including producing a summary of a block of text, optical character recognition, handwriting recognition, sentiment analysis, and machine translation.
