results in more time consuming. Also

Research Methodology:
 
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the
basic tract of Artificial Intelligence and
Linguistics, completely dedicated to make
computers understand the statements or
words written in human languages. Natural
language processing came into real
existence to make easy the user’s work and
to ease their wish of communicating with
the computer in natural language. Since

any language spoken by human.
2. Morphology:
Origin of this word describes its meaning as
study of a particular form, shape or
structure. The different parts of the word
represent the smallest parts or smallest units
of meaning known as Morphemes.
Morphology which is study of nature of
words, are initiated by morphemes. The
interpretation of morpheme stays same for
all the words, just to understand the meaning
humans can break any word into
morphemes.
3. Lexical:
In Lexical phase, both humans and NLP
systems, interpret the meaning of individual
words. Words that can act as more than one
part-of-speech are given the most probable
part-of speech tag based on the context in
which they occur.
4. Syntactic:
This level emphasizes to observe the words
in a sentence so as to look over the
grammatical structure of the sentence. Both
grammar and parser are required in this
phase.
5. Semantic:
Semantic processing determines the possible
meanings of a sentence by focusing on the
interactions among word-level meanings in
the sentence. This level of processing can
incorporate the semantic disambiguation of
words with multiple meanings.
6. Discourse:
The discourse phase of NLP engages with
units of text longer than a sentence i.e., it
does not analyze multi sentence texts as just
sequence sentences, which can be explained
singly. Rather, discourse focuses on the
properties of the text as a whole that extracts
meaning by making connections between
component sentences or component parts of
sentences.
7. Pragmatic:
Pragmatic is concerned with the firm use of
language in situations and utilizes central
point over and above the central point of the
text or matter for understanding the goal. It’s
meant to explain how extra meaning is read
into texts without really being encoded in
them. More or less it defines the practical
approach.
Results:
Natural Language Processing can be applied
into various areas like Machine Translation,
Email Spam detection, Information
Extraction, Summarization, Question
Answering, Text Categorization etc. [5].
1. Machine Translation:
Everyone knows what is a manual
translation — we translate information from
one language into another manually. When
the same thing is done by a machine, it is
called “Machine” Translation. The idea
behind MT is simple — to develop
computer algorithms which allow automatic
translation without any human intervention.
2. Speech Recognition:
In the last few decades, NLP has allowed us
to achieve significant success. Speech
recognition is the process of converting
speech into text, which is further processed
to understand the meaning. Now we have a
wide variety of speech recognition software
programs that allow us to decipher the
human voice. It is used in mobile telephony,
home automation, hands-free computing,
virtual assistance, video games etc.
3. Sentiment Analysis:
Sentiment analysis (also known as opinion
mining or emotion AI) is a special type of
data mining that measures the inclination of
people’s opinions. The work of this analysis
is to identify subjective information
embedded in the text.
4. Automatic Summarization:
Earlier, Information overload could be a real
drawback but now we have Automatic
Summarization. It is the process of creating
a short, accurate, and articulate summary of
a longer text document. The most important
advantage of using a summary is it lessen
the reading time.
5. Chatbot:
Conclusion: This is to conclude that
the project that we are working on with
a sincere effort. Most of the
requirements have been fulfilled up to
the mark and the requirements which
have been remaining, can be completed
within a short period.
Our project is only a humble progress to
satisfy the needs of a discussion forum at
college level. Several user friendly coding
have also been adopted. This package shall
prove to be a powerful package in satisfying
all the requirements of the organizations.
The main aim is to offer a number of
advantages over traditional server
The first chatbot appeared in the 1960s, they
were quite basic: they rearranged what a
person spoke to them. Modern chatbots are
not far from their ancestors. NLP has
become the base for creating chatbots,
although such systems are not so reliable
and accurate they can easily handle standard
tasks.
Tools used for applying NLP:
NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a
leading platform for building Python
programs to work with human language
data.
It provides easy-to-use interfaces to many
different work and lexical resources. Also, it
contains a stock of text processing libraries
for classification, tokenization, stemming,
lemmatization, tagging, parsing, and
semantic reasoning [6]. Overall, NLTK is a
free, open source, community-driven project
infrastructure. For many developers, The
main problem with traditional infrastructure
is that it does not offer greater scalability,
more flexibility, and all resources at a
reduced cost As many organizations tend
towards service oriented architecture,
developers will often wonder whether
progressive parts of their service could be
moved into the cloud. Databases, servers
and even file storage are slowly transitioning
to the cloud, with servers being run in
virtual containers as opposed to being hosted
on a dedicated machine. Here the benefits of
our application came.
