Abstract

Introduction: This study reviews the significant developments in natural language processing (NLP) and its impact on artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on advancements in language models, computational infrastructures, and the integration of machine learning methods. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines, targeting articles from 2022 to 2024. Web of Science with search terms like “natural language processing”, “PNL”. Results: The review highlights the critical role of advanced language models such as GPT-4, BERT, and their variants in improving natural language understanding and generation, the importance of high-performance computing infrastructures, and the use of machine learning techniques to optimize NLP tasks. Discussions: The findings confirm the relevance of robust computational infrastructures and reveal new perspectives on the rapid evolution and broader adoption of NLP techniques across various sectors. Conclusions: Continued investment in computational infrastructures and the development of advanced language models is essential. Future research should expand the study period, diversify languages, include grey literature, conduct longitudinal studies, and explore the ethical and privacy challenges in implementing NLP techniques.

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal European Public & Social Innovation Review - Epsir, Q3 Agency Scopus (SJR), its regional focus and specialization in Sociology and Political Science, give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-15:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 57 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
