Google Cloud Natural Language API - Natural language API using Google machine learning

Do you know when it is available for French language ?

"Initial support for English, Spanish and Japanese. It includes: * Sentiment Analysis: Understand the overall sentiment of a block of text * Entity Recognition: Identify the most relevant entities for a block of text and label them with types such as person, organization, location, events, products and media * Syntax Analysis: Identify parts of speech and create dependency parse trees for each sentence to reveal the structure and meaning of text" The amount of applications is enormous. 💪

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Right now, LUIS and Wit.ai mostly require you to route your entire chat stream through them, making it difficult to do hybrid approaches where you can clean up chat structure via pattern matching and then try and decipher using NLP. An alternative approach is to use Stanford's CoreNLP for this, but the sheer size of it makes it impractical for some cloud deployments like Heroku so a REST API is nicer. I'm curious to see how their NER compares to the Stanford one--the auto-retrieval of wikipedia URLs is a nice touch.

I knew it. I knew that Google will come up with a Natural Language API. =D So many companies are doing this, how can Google stay behind.

Hrm... the only thing that trended negative in a Bernie speech excerpt is a mention of gays in a list of other things marked as positive sentiment.

Interesting tool! Bot Age!

Very cool! I used this https://dandelion.eu/semantic-te... but this new Google service look quite interesting. Glad to see they connected it to Wikipedia resources (I was afraid they could have connected it to their own resource base - ex freebase)

The most interesting thing for me was the "Entity Recognition". It can make such a huge change for bot developers
