In this quick tutorial, we go over the basics of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Machines can’t simply read and interpret language innately as we humans can. So how can machines understand sarcasm, or if a sentence is posed as a question, or even just to find the main topic and re-occurring themes in the words?
