Microsoft Cognitive Services - Entity Linking Intelligence Service

Entity Linking

In different contexts, a word might be used as a named entity, a verb, or another word form within a given sentence. For example, in the case where “times” is a named entity, it may refer to two separately distinguishable entities such as “The New York Times” or “Times Square”. Given a specific paragraph of text within a document, the Entity Linking Intelligence Service will recognize and identify each separate entity based on the context.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System , after Mercury . Named after the Roman god of war , it is often referred to as the ' Red Planet ' because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.
