Natural Language Processing
"Natural Language Processing" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Computer processing of a language with rules that reflect and describe current usage rather than prescribed usage.
