Information extraction (IE) in Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the task of automatically extracting structured information from unstructured text. It involves identifying and extracting specific entities, relationships, or events mentioned in the text and representing them in a structured format. Output: Steps in Information Extraction: Entity Recognition: Entity recognition is the task of identifying and classifying named entities in a text. Named entities are typically proper nouns that represent specific entities such as people, organizations, locations, dates, or other domain-specific entities. Entity recognition techniques use various approaches, including rule-based methods, statistical models, and machine learning algorithms, to detect and classify entities in a document. Output: Sentence Boundary Detection: Sentence boundary detection involves segmenting a text document into individual sentences. This step is crucial for many NLP tasks, including relation extraction. Sente

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging and named entity recognition (NER) POS tagging and NER are two important tasks that involve analyzing and understanding the structure and meaning of text. Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging: Part-of-speech tagging is the process of assigning grammatical tags to each word in a given sentence, based on its syntactic category and role in the sentence. The tags represent the part of speech of the word, such as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, etc. POS tagging helps in understanding the grammatical structure of a sentence, enabling further analysis and interpretation. For example, consider the sentence: "The cat is sitting on the mat." A POS tagger would analyze each word and assign tags like "DT" (determiner) for "The," "NN" (noun) for "cat," "VBZ" (verb) for "is," "VBG" (verb) for "sitting," "IN" (preposition) for "on," and &

 NLP : Classification Task Classification refers to the task of assigning predefined labels or categories to a given piece of text. There are various classification tasks in NLP, some of which include: Sentiment Analysis(Classification) , Text Categorization, Spam Detection, Intent Recognition, Named Entity Recognition (NER), Topic Modeling etc. Sentiment Classification Sentiment classification is the process of determining the sentiment expressed in a piece of text, whether it is positive, negative, or neutral. Naive Bayes , Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, and deep learning models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are commonly used for NLP classification Algorithms. Naive Bayes is a simple yet effective probabilistic algorithm that can be used for sentiment classification. Sentiment Classification using Naive Bayes Algorithm The Naive Bayes algorithm is based on Bayes' theorem and assumes that the features (words or n-gra
