Azure Language documentation
Build and deploy natural language processing (NLP) solutions with prebuilt and customizable models for entity extraction, sentiment analysis, PII detection, classification, summarization, and healthcare text processing.
Core capabilities
Use production-grade natural language processing (NLP) capabilities optimized for the latest platform architecture and engineering workflows.
Detect and redact sensitive information
Detect, classify, and redact personally identifiable information (PII) across unstructured text, conversation transcripts, and document workflows.
Recognize named entities
Identify and classify entities such as people, organizations, locations, and dates using prebuilt recognition models.
Build a custom entity recognizer
Train custom models to extract domain-specific entities using your own labeled data and entity schemas.
Analyze healthcare documents
Extract clinical entities, relations, and assertions from biomedical and clinical narratives.
Detect language
Automatically determine input language and script for multilingual processing pipelines.
Legacy capabilities
Use legacy extraction and analysis capabilities for established production systems, specialized workloads, and phased migration plans. For net-new implementations, prioritize using core capabilities to align with current platform architecture, long-term roadmap direction, and recommended engineering practices.
Classify and analyze text
Perform sentiment and opinion analysis, and train custom classifiers for domain-specific taxonomy mapping.
Extract information
Extract key phrases and resolve linked entities against knowledge sources to enrich downstream indexing and retrieval.
Summarize content
Generate abstractive summaries for documents, conversations, and long-form content.
Build conversational applications
Build conversational workflows that classify intents, extract entities, and orchestrate language services.
Build question-answering systems
Author domain-specific knowledge bases and deploy question-answering agents for retrieval-grounded responses.
