Analyze and Retrieve Information from Text Using Google Cloud Natural Language
Description
Google Cloud Natural Language is a machine learning service that enables you to analyze and retrieve different kinds of information from text, or from a text document, uploaded to Cloud Storage. By using Google's pre-created machine learning models, you can extract information such as sentiments, entities, content classifications, and syntax. This way, you can carry out text analysis and retrieve all the entities in a piece of text, with related information, or understand the sentiment expressed by a piece of text. By using Google Cloud Natural Language, you will use the same machine learning models that Google uses for its search engine. This ensures the speed and reliability of the retrieved information.
