Entity extraction

Entity extraction provides a solution for the automated recognition and grouping of entities in text documents, which also serves as a basis for additional procedures such as sentiment analysis, topic extraction, or other techniques related to natural language processing (NLP). In the process, different entity types (personal names, organizations, events, places, dates, and other main and subtypes) are extracted from the text bodies.

Importance of entity extraction

Extracting and grouping entities in textual content is of paramount importance for many areas. Entity recognition facilitates the implementation of PR, HR and marketing tasks, and also plays an important role in due diligence, intelligence and forecasting processes. Extraction of entities supports also the realization of advanced and sophisticated enterprise search.

 

Entity extraction and enterprise search

Entity extraction supports the effective usage of search engines, as TAS Enterprise Search, developed by Precognox.
The extracted entity groups may function as facets (filtering options) to narrow down the list of the results. In addition, the entities recognized in the text content can be shown grouped by entity types by the result.

Fine-tuning of entity tags

Automatically extracted entities can function as tags. TAS Tagger tagging solution developed by Precognox, in addition to its many functions, enables the fine-tuning of these extracted entity tags.

Advanced entity extracting solution integrated

The collaboration between US-based Basis Technology and Precognox dates back years. As the official Hungarian reseller and product integrator of Basistech’s Rosette text analytics platform in Hungary, as a matter of course our company also applies these solutions in own products. Basistech’s entity extracting solution, Rosette Entity Extractor (REX) is integrated in TAS Tagger developed by Precognox.

In close cooperation

In addition to being the official system integrator and reseller of the Rosette API, as part of the collaboration Precognox has also participated in the development of Basistech’s text analytics solutions. An important milestone in the collaboration was a joint presentation of Basis Technology and Precognox at the embassy of the United Kingdom, Budapest (Hungary).

Rosette Entity Extractor (REX)

Entities (e.g., organizations, people, places, products, dates) are significant parts of texts. Basistech’s entity extraction solution, Rosette Entity Extractor (REX) is built on a flexible hybrid of statistical or deep neural network, exact match and pattern matching processors using these techniques in order to maximize the precision and recall for each entity type. Therefore the solution is extremely effective and is able to identify 29 entity types and more than 450 subtypes.

 

More accurate tagging and faster annotation

Rosette Adaptation Studio (RAS) is a user-friendly application designed for nontechnical users. In addition to entities extracted by REX, the intuitive interface allows the user to specify new and unique tag categories. The process can be done by the client itself, without the need for a data scientist or NLP expert. Using the application will accelerate the process and enables faster annotation with Rosette Adaptation Studio.
