Introduction and installation of packages

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has become an important part of modern systems. It is used extensively in search engines, conversational interfaces, document processors, and so on. Machines can handle structured data well, but when it comes to working with free-form text, they have a hard time. The goal of NLP is to develop algorithms that enable computers to understand free - form text and help them understand language.

One of the most challenging things about processing free - form natural language is the sheer amount of variation. Context plays a very important role in how a sentence is understood. Humans are innately great at understanding language. It is not clear yet how humans understand language so easily and intuitively. We use our past knowledge and experiences to understand conversations and we can quickly get the gist of what other people are talking about even with little explicit context.

To address this issue, NLP...
