Modern NLP is at the forefront of computational linguistics, which is concerned with computational modelling of natural language.

Chomsky’s apprehension on the potential of Computational Linguistics during the 1950s, specifically on the theoretical foundation of those statistical models, was something analogous to Einstein’s reaction to Quantum Physics, “God does not play dice”. These are pivotal moments when the world witnessed the rise of alternative theories. However, by all means, the foundation laid by Chomsky for linguistics theory still remains relevant and aid in progress, analysis, and understanding of the computational linguistics. Read More
