Episode 14 — Natural Language Processing — How Machines Understand Text

Language is one of the most human forms of intelligence, and this episode explores how AI systems learn to read, interpret, and generate text. We begin with early approaches like rule-based translation, then move into statistical models such as bag-of-words and word embeddings. Tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, syntax parsing, and semantic analysis are explained as core steps in processing human language. We then introduce modern approaches, including contextual embeddings, attention mechanisms, and transformers, which have transformed natural language processing into one of the most advanced areas of AI.Applications are highlighted across industries: chatbots and virtual assistants in customer service, machine translation, automated summarization, and sentiment analysis of reviews or social media. We also address challenges such as ambiguity, bias in training corpora, and difficulties building tools for low-resource languages. By the end, listeners will understand how NLP evolved from simple statistical tricks to complex deep learning models capable of powering everyday interactions, making it one of the most impactful domains of AI.
