Abstract
In this research paper, a comprehensive literature review was undertaken in order to analyze Natural Language Processing (NLP) application based in different domains. Also, by conducting qualitative research, we will try to analyze the development of the current state and the challenge of NLP technology as a key for Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, pointing out some of the limitations, risks and opportunities. In our research, we rely on primary data from applicable legislation and secondary public domain data sources providing related information from case studies. By studying the structure and content of the published literature, the NLP-based applications have been clearly classified into different fields which include natural language understanding, natural language generation, voice or speech recognition, machine translation, spell correction and grammar check. The development trend, open issues and limitations have also been analyzed.
