Edward Loper is a computer scientist known for his work in natural language processing (NLP), which involves teaching computers to understand and interpret human language. He is a key developer of NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit), a widely used open-source software library that provides tools for linguists and programmers to analyze text data.
