AI can’t understand language like humans do — it learns through data and patterns.
Let’s break down how NLP works in 4 main steps:
- Hearing (Input):
The AI records what you say through a microphone or reads your text. - Understanding (Processing):
It breaks your words into smaller parts (called tokens) and identifies meaning using grammar rules and data patterns. - Thinking (Decision):
It figures out what you want — e.g., weather, music, or answer to a question.
Speaking (Output):
The AI responds using pre-learned language or a generated answer.
Example:
You say: “What’s the weather?”
AI says: “It’s sunny and 30°C in your area.”
