What does downstream tasks terminology mean in NLP? I saw this terminology used in several articles but I can't understand the idea behind it.

Basically anything you might want to do with the results of NLP.

From the intro of one recent article from the arxiv by Christian S. Perone, Roberto Silveira, and Thomas S. Paula:

Word embeddings are nowadays pervasive on a wide spectrum of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) applications. These word representations improved downstream tasks in many domains such as machine translation, syntactic parsing, text classification, and machine comprehension, among other

to list a few example domains.
