Description
The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) is a powerful Python library used for natural language processing, a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through language. NLTK allows users to work with human language data and provides easy-to-use interfaces to over 50 corpora and lexical resources. It includes text processing libraries for tokenization, parsing, classification, stemming, tagging, and semantic reasoning. With NLTK, you can also perform tasks like named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, and sentiment analysis. It's an essential tool for those working in the field of data science, machine learning, or AI who deal with human language data.
