Thoughts
NLP is weird because you are taking something that makes perfect sense to a human (the original text), then breaking it down into forms that are less and less legible to humans (but of course, more legible to a computer), all for the purpose of . . . finding meaning in it. A thing our brains can do.
Obviously that’s not the point, it’s just funny to be learning this text preprocessing to “get insight into the meaning of a text” as my current lesson of Codecademy says.
