Abstract

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence technologies that has made interacting with computers more akin to natural language. This study aimed to define NLP, present its history from the sixties to the present, clarify the fundamental terms used in the field of NLP, as well as identify the constituent elements of NLP technology, the linguistic levels in the field of NLP, the stages involved in NLP technology, and the applications of NLP in library and information science. The study relied on a descriptive-analytical approach in reviewing the intellectual production related to the field of NLP, based on available foreign databases on the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB). The study reached several conclusions, notably anticipating the emergence of numerous graphical user interface software that will allow the use of NLP techniques without the need for encoding, thereby facilitating beginners in applying NLP techniques easily without relying on algorithms.
