Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence aimed at giving computers the ability to use and understand human language and speech. Technology features we take for granted every day are a product of NLP. When you dictate a text message to Siri or ask Alexa the weather, that’s Natural Language Processing. When our email services filter out spam, check our spelling and grammar, and even autocomplete entire messages, that’s NLP too. NLP is also a key part of Elder Research's approach to RegTech.
