10.5 Natural Language Processing (NLP) / Computer Vision (CV)

Imagine a computer that can understand what you're saying, or "see" what's in a picture. That's what Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) are all about!

These are two huge and exciting areas within Artificial Intelligence where computers try to understand and work with human-like information.

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): This is about teaching computers to understand, interpret, and even create human languages (like English, Spanish, Chinese). It's how computers can read text, listen to your voice, and talk back to you.
  • Computer Vision (CV): This is about teaching computers to "see" and understand images and videos. It's how computers can recognize faces, identify objects, and understand what's happening in a scene.

These fields are where some of the most visible and impressive AI applications come from!
