Natural language processing

NLP is the process of parsing text and understanding its meaning. This can be used to extract knowledge from pieces of text, understand the differences between texts, and more.

There are several well-developed libraries available for this purpose that work quite well. Additionally, there are also hosted pre-trained networks available such as the GPT-3 network, which can be accessed through the OpenAI API.

This network can generate text of such high quality that it is often indistinguishable from human-generated text.

NLTK – Natural Language Toolkit

NLTK is not really a machine learning library by itself like most of the other libraries here, but it’s the basis for many natural language processing libraries. The NLTK project started in 2001 with the purpose of understanding natural languages, and definitely deserves a place in this list.

The project comes bundled with a large collection of corpora and pre-trained models...
