Natural Language Processing (NLP)

NLP (natural language processing) covers everything from spell-checking to machine translation and sentiment analysis. Before the transformer shift, RNN/CNN hybrids dominated; now LLM systems are the practical default for many tasks.

Swedish is a lower-resource language compared to English, but it often performs well in large multilingual models. See LLM and prompt.
