Natural Language Processing using NLTK and

Abstract-- Natural Language Processing is a theoretically motivated range of computational techniques for analysing and representing naturally occurring texts at one or more levels of linguistic analysis for the purpose of achieving human-like language processing for a range of tasks or applications [1]. To perform natural language processing a variety of tools and platform have been developed, in our case we will discuss about NLTK for Python.The Natural Language Toolkit, or more commonly NLTK, is a suite of libraries and programs for symbolic and statistical natural language processing (NLP) for the Python programming language[2]. It provides easy-to-use interfaces to many corpora and lexical resources such as WordNet, along with a suite of text processing libraries for classification, tokenization, stemming, tagging, parsing, and semantic reasoning. In this paper we discuss different approaches for natural language processing using NLTK
