Explore the intricacies of Natural Language Processing (NLP) through our detailed review of syntax analysis, focusing on essential components like Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging, morphological analysis, and parsing techniques. Understand the foundational concepts including formal grammars, finite state automata, and context-free grammars. Delve into the methods of parsing, such as top-down and bottom-up approaches, and learn about parse trees, semantic structures, and more. Equip yourself with the necessary linguistic knowledge to classify language phenomena and apply semantics to enhance NLP applications.
