Box 1: Entity recognition

the Named Entity Recognition module in Machine Learning Studio (classic), to identify the names of things, such as people, companies, or locations in a column of text.

Named entity recognition is an important area of research in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), because it can be used to answer many real-world questions, such as:

Which companies were mentioned in a news article?

Does a tweet contain the name of a person? Does the tweet also provide his current location?

Were specified products mentioned in complaints or reviews?

Box 2: Sentiment Analysis

The Text Analytics API's Sentiment Analysis feature provides two ways for detecting positive and negative sentiment. If you send a Sentiment Analysis request, the API will return sentiment labels (such as "negative", "neutral" and "positive") and confidence scores at the sentence and document-level.

You can provide the Text Analytics service with unstructured text and it will return a list of entities in the text that it recognizes. You can provide the Text Analytics service with unstructured text and it will return a list of entities in the text that it recognizes. The service can also provide links to more information about that entity on the web. An entity is essentially an item of a particular type or a category; and in some cases, subtype, such as those as shown in the following table.

The Text Analytics API is a cloud-based service that provides advanced natural language processing over raw text, and includes four main functions: sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, named entity recognition, and language detection.

Box 1: Yes

You can detect which language the input text is written in and report a single language code for every document submitted on the request in a wide range of languages, variants, dialects, and some regional/cultural languages. The language code is paired with a score indicating the strength of the score.

Box 2: No

Box 3: Yes

Named Entity Recognition: Identify and categorize entities in your text as people, places, organizations, date/time, quantities, percentages, currencies, and more. Well-known entities are also recognized and linked to more information on the web.

Language Understanding (LUIS) is a cloud-based API service that applies custom machine-learning intelligence to a user's conversational, natural language text to predict overall meaning, and pull out relevant, detailed information.

Design your LUIS model with categories of user intentions called intents. Each intent needs examples of user utterances. Each utterance can provide data that needs to be extracted with machine-learning entities.

Key phrase extraction is the concept of evaluating the text of a document, or documents, and then identifying the main talking points of the document(s).

Key phase extraction is a part of Text Analytics. The Text Analytics service is a part of the Azure Cognitive Services offerings that can perform advanced natural language processing over raw text.

Utterances are input from the user that your app needs to interpret.
