Natural Language Processing: State-of-the-Art

Abstract

Natural Language Processing refers to both interaction between computer and human and integration of artificial intelligence into field of linguistics. It enables the human beings to interact with machine using natural languages. Natural Language Processing is a key skill in most of the systems that deal with human-computer interaction. As more and more artificial intelligence is getting embedded into the machinery, it has become a point of attraction to make the machine directly understand the instructions given by human in a simple, more precisely saying natural languages. Natural Language Processing, when integrated with computational modelling, results into the term Computational Linguistics. Computational Linguistics needs the involvement of both the language experts as well as the computational experts (computer scientists). This paper aims to provide the better awareness about the fact how these two fields, Computational Linguistics and Natural language Processing are interrelated to each other. In this research paper we have tried to basically deliberate the past success in the research and development in the field of Natural Language Processing & current status of Natural Language Processing. The other major focus is on new roads towards the research and challenges in the same field.
