Get Started with NLP in Python using NLTK Library: A Beginner's Guide

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with the interaction between computers and humans using natural language. It is a fascinating field that allows us to build applications that can understand and interpret human language. In this beginner's guide, we will explore the basics of NLP with Python using the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) library. We will cover topics such as text preprocessing, tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and sentiment analysis.

Prerequisites

Before diving into NLP with Python, we need to have some basic knowledge of Python programming. We also need to install the NLTK library. 

To install NLTK, we can use the following command in our Python environment:

pip install nltk

Once NLTK is installed, we can import it in our Python script as follows:

import nltk
