- 3. Introduction to NLP • • Natural Language Processing (NLP) enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. • • NLP combines linguistics, computer science, and AI. • • Evolution: Rule-Based → Statistical Models → Deep Learning → Large Language Models (LLMs).
- 4. Early Developments in NLP • • 1950s-1970s: Symbolic AI & Rule-Based Systems (e.g., ELIZA chatbot, SHRDLU parser). • • 1980s-1990s: Statistical NLP (Hidden Markov Models, early machine translation systems like IBM models). • • Limitations: Rigid rules, lack of contextual understanding, high computational cost.
- 5. Key Breakthroughs in Machine Learning & NLP • 2000s: Machine Learning Revolution (Naïve Bayes, SVMs, Random Forests in NLP). • 2010s: Deep Learning Advances (RNNs, LSTMs, sequence-to-sequence models for translation). • Word Embeddings (Word2Vec, GloVe) improved semantic understanding.
- 6. Rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) • • 2018: Transformer-based models (Attention is All You Need - Vaswani et al.). • • BERT (2018) - Context- aware bidirectional NLP model. • • GPT-3 (2020) - Large-scale autoregressive language model (175B parameters). • • GPT-4 (2023) & Beyond - Advanced reasoning, multimodal understanding, improved accuracy.
- 7. NLP Applications Across Industries • **HEALTHCARE** – MEDICAL CHATBOTS, DISEASE PREDICTION, PATIENT DATA ANALYSIS. • **FINANCE** – FRAUD DETECTION, AUTOMATED TRADING, SENTIMENT ANALYSIS. • **CUSTOMER SUPPORT** – AI-POWERED CHATBOTS, AUTOMATED RESPONSE SYSTEMS. • **EDUCATION** – AI TUTORS, AUTOMATED ESSAY GRADING, LANGUAGE LEARNING TOOLS. • **LEGAL & COMPLIANCE** – CONTRACT ANALYSIS, LEGAL RESEARCH AUTOMATION.
- 8. Challenges & Ethical Considerations ⚠ BIAS IN NLP MODELS – TRAINED DATA REFLECTS SOCIETAL BIASES. ⚠ PRIVACY CONCERNS – HANDLING OF SENSITIVE USER DATA. ⚠ MISINFORMATION – RISKS OF AI-GENERATED FALSE INFORMATION. ⚠ COMPUTATIONAL COSTS – HIGH ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR TRAINING LARGE MODELS.
- 9. Future Trends in NLP • 🔹 **Multimodal AI** – Combining text, image, and audio understanding. • 🔹 **Smaller, Efficient Models** – Optimization for edge computing. • 🔹 **Explainable AI (XAI)** – Improving transparency in AI decisions. • 🔹 **Personalized AI Assistants** – Smarter and context-aware assistants.
