Natural language processing expanded in the last 30 years, arising to cover a wide range of applications in various domains, among them assistive technologies, helping people with disabilities due to accidents, aging, or genetic heritance, to enhance their social integration and their daily life. The growing need in assistive techniques has led to the involvement in the usual devices of intelligent modules to improve and facilitate their use, natural language processing attaining nowadays a high applicability in this domain. The paper discusses first basic methodologies involved in natural language processing like speech recognition, speech synthesis and text processing. Some possible applications are then presented with accent on experimental realization of intelligent modules for assistive devices in the laboratory of our university.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) opens up new possibilities for arts management in practice and research. This article introduces the typical research process of NLP and presents the most important methods and techniques like Sentinent Analysis, Author Profiling, Named Entity Recognition, Topic Modeling and Trend Detection. Using recent research results and new illustrative examples, we descibe the possibilities and limitations of NLP for arts Management.
