What is Entity Extraction?
The process of identifying and classifying key information or data points from user input in a chatbot conversation.
More about Entity Extraction:
Entity Extraction, often termed as Named Entity Recognition (NER), is an essential component of NLP where specific data points or information chunks are identified in a given text. In chatbot interactions, entities can be things like dates, names, locations, product names, and more. For instance, in the user input "Book a flight to Paris on June 10", "Paris" might be extracted as a location entity and "June 10" as a date entity.
Extracting entities helps chatbots understand and act upon user requests more efficiently, as it identifies the specific details needed to process the user's intent.
