Abstract

Computational linguistics, or work on “natural language processing” (NLP) began more than sixty years ago. The fields of user modeling and natural language processing have been closely linked since the early days of user modeling. A recent study conducted by the Kelsey Group reports that many companies are investing in and deploying voice or speech recognition and processing technologies at a very large scale to save money by replacing operators and to improve service to their customers. Natural language text interpretation and process has been getting more sophisticated in the recent years. In this research paper I would like to highlight the developments that have taken place in NLP technologies and systems which will pave way for further research.
