Abstract

The advent of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has revolutionized the way businesses gather and interpret data. This paper explores the application of NLP in extracting actionable insights from unstructured textual data, which is ubiquitous in the business environment. We delve into the methodologies and tools available for text preprocessing, sentiment analysis, entity recognition, and topic modeling, demonstrating how these techniques can be leveraged to enhance decision-making processes. The paper further examines case studies where NLP has been successfully employed to optimize customer service, improve market research, and drive personalized marketing strategies. It concludes by discussing the potential challenges and future directions for NLP in business, highlighting the need for ethical considerations and continuous technological advancements.
