While the internet is highly image based, most of our communication is still text based. Learning to write algorithms that can respond to text based input in a natural way will be an important skill going forward in our fast changing world.

In this meetup we discuss

1. Installing NLTK library and getting started with NLP.
2. Microsoft AI bot incident
3. Are bots the new apps? Facebook thinks so.
4. Possible NLP projects
5. NLP related job openings
6. If time permits, we take a look at an interesting NLP related kaggle exercise

If you've never done anything in NLP, don't worry, we'll be using the NLTK library. It's all basic python string manipulation and Sci-kit learn. Discussions will be casual and everyone is welcome to contribute.
