Entity extraction prebuilt model

  • Article

The prebuilt entity extraction model recognizes specific data from text that's of interest to your business. The model identifies key elements from text, and then classifies them into predefined categories. This can help to transform unstructured data into structured data that's machine-readable. You can then apply processing to retrieve information, extract facts, and answer questions.

The prebuilt model is ready to use out of the box. For information about customizing your entity extraction to suit your specific needs, see Overview of the entity extraction custom model.
