Named Entity Recognition: Applications and Use Cases

Named Entity Recognition is a process where an algorithm takes a string of text (sentence or paragraph) as input and identifies relevant nouns (people, places, and organizations) that are mentioned in that string. In our previous blog, we gave you a glimpse of how our Named Entity Recognition API works under the hood. In this post, we list some scenarios and use cases of Named Entity Recognition technology. News and publishing houses generate large amounts of online content on a daily basis and managing them correctly is very important to get the most use of each article. Named Entity Recognition can automatically scan entire articles and reveal which are the major people, organizations, and places discussed in them.
