The English language is extremely complicated. We have words that can have multiple parts of speech. Natural language processing is difficult because it is hard to tell if a word is a noun when it could be a verb or an adjective, etc. The purpose of this project is to develop an algorithm that, given a sentence string, has a ranking system that detects the part of speech of each word. Why is the useful? Because understanding the correct parts of speech in a sentence is the first step to teaching a robot how to read.
