Most of the world’s knowledge is encoded in natural language (e.g., news articles, books, emails, academic papers). It is estimated that 80 percent of business-relevant information originates in unstructured form, primarily text. However, the ambiguous nature of human communication makes it difficult for software engineers and data scientists to leverage this information in their applications.
After years of research, we are proud to announce the Diffbot Natural Language API, a new product to help businesses convert their text documents into knowledge graphs. Knowledge graphs represent information about real-world entities (e.g., people, organizations, products, articles) via their relationships with other entities (e.g., founded by, educated at, was mentioned in). This is the same production-grade technology that we use to build the world’s largest knowledge graph from the web, and we are making it available to all.
