NLP: Python Tools and Libraries

Natural language processing (NLP) intersects the fields of computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics to enable computers to process and “understand” natural language. This in turn helps them carry out tasks like language translation and text summarization. NLP is quickly becoming one of the most crucial technologies of our day, especially given the rapid rise of voice interfaces and chatbots. It is extremely impressive how far NLP has come in a short time, since human language is incredibly complex and hard to represent.

How AI is Changing Journalism

The view that journalism will be heavily impacted by AI is held all around the globe. In 2019, the London School of Economics published a global survey of journalism and AI based on interviews with 71 newsrooms in over 32 countries. One of the conclusions was that AI will reshape journalism, at first in an incremental way, but there will be long-term structural effects. The technology is set to disrupt the field in many ways involving data analytics, prediction making, plagiarism detection, NLP, fake news detection, and more.
