Entity extraction is a pivotal task in natural language processing (NLP). It focuses on the identification and extraction of specific information or entities from text, such as names, locations, dates, organizations, and more. The primary objective of entity extraction is to automatically recognize and classify pertinent entities within textual data, paving the way for in-depth analysis and comprehension. This process encompasses the automatic identification and classification of named entities like people, organizations, locations, dates, among others, within textual data.
Data Source and Tools For this project, the primary data source comprises research papers presented at the Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) conference, a renowned gathering for machine learning enthusiasts worldwide. Considering our project's objective, the NIPS conference papers serve as an apt data source.
The library leveraged over here is Spacy, a renowned Python library for NLP, to achieve our project goals. Spacy offers a seamless and efficient interface for a myriad of NLP tasks, which includes but is not limited to entity extraction, named entity recognition, and text classification. One of its standout features is the provision of pre-trained models. Additionally, it allows users the flexibility to train their models on custom datasets, such as research paper datasets.
Expected Outcomes:
- Enhanced accuracy and efficiency in identifying and classifying pivotal keywords within textual data.
- Through entity extraction, we aim to pinpoint key data and insights from vast text datasets, which, in turn, can expedite and refine decision-making processes. Data visualization of these significant keywords will further streamline information access and analysis.
