Lack of adequate resources can make it difficult to understand the basic concepts of NLP resulting in a barrier for those who wish to enter this field of artificial intelligence. The main objective of this book is to present the basic concepts of PLN using the Python programming language as the main tool. Python was chosen because it is easy to understand its structure for beginners which facilitates the learning and application of PLN concepts. This book presents clear examples and detailed explanations that help readers learn and apply PLN principles in applications such as sentiment analysis machine translation and natural language generation among others.
