Scope
In this smart planet Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing are the buzzwords whirling around all walks of life. Nowadays, machine learning and Natural Language Processing techniques and applications have become one of the sprightliest attention of current technology developments. In fact, machine learning and Natural language processing techniques have proved to have superhuman abilities in numerous fields such as self-driving cars, fraud detection, medical image classification, web-searches, image and speech recognition, email/spam filtering, pattern recognition, biometric systems, credit scores, ontologies, corpora, lexical databases, linguistic, sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, historical and literary issues of the language and culture are powered by machine learning and Natural Language processing algorithms and are huge parts of our daily life. Systems like web search engines and Google Translate rely more and more on huge repositories of structured language data and levels of linguistic information automatically provided through Machine Learning and NLP tools.
