Entity Identification

Entity identification is the process of recognizing and pinpointing specific individuals, organizations, locations, or other defined items within a body of text or data. It involves analyzing the content to accurately find and categorize these entities, allowing systems to understand who or what is being discussed. For example, in a news article, entity identification can detect mentions of companies, cities, or people, enabling more organized data management, improved searchability, and better understanding of the information’s context. It’s a key step in turning raw texts into meaningful, structured information.
