👉 Snippet : “Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a current topic in machine learning (ML). With the commercialisation of Chat GPT and the integration of chatbots into business environments, NLP has become a part of our everyday lives. Before Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), a turning point in the field of NLP was the development of Recursive Neural Networks (RNNs).”
