Microsoft's Project Alexandria parses documents using unsupervised learning

Where does your enterprise stand on the AI adoption curve? Take our AI survey to find out. In 2014, Microsoft launched Project Alexandria, a research effort within its Cambridge research division dedicated to discovering entities -- topics of information -- and their associated properties. Building on the research lab's work in knowledge mining research using probabilistic programming, the aim of Alexandria was to construct a full knowledge base from a set of documents automatically. Alexandria technology powers the recently announced Microsoft Viva Topics, which automatically organizes large amounts of content and expertise in an organization.
