| Linked Entities: | We went to Contoso Steakhouse located at midtown NYC last week for a dinner party, and we adore the spot! They provide marvelous food and they have a great menu. The chief cook happens to be the owner (I think his name is John Doe) and he is super nice, coming out of the kitchen and greeted us all. We enjoyed very much dining in the place! The Sirloin steak I ordered was tender and juicy, and the place was impeccably clean. You can even pre-order from their online menu at www.contososteakhouse.com, call 312-555-0176 or send email to order@contososteakhouse.com! The only complaint I have is the food didn't come fast enough. Overall I highly recommend it! |

Frequently asked questions about Text Analytics
-
Text Analytics detects a wide range of languages, variants, and dialects. See the language support documentation for more information.
-
Yes. Sentiment analysis and key phrase extraction are available for a select number of languages, and you may request additional languages in the Text Analytics Forum.
-
Key phrase extraction eliminates non-essential words and standalone adjectives. Adjective-noun combinations, such as "spectacular views" or "foggy weather," are returned together. Generally, output consists of nouns and objects of the sentence and is listed in order of importance. Importance is measured by the number of times a particular concept is mentioned, or the relation of that element to other elements in the text.
-
Improvements to models and algorithms are announced if the change is major, and added to the service if the update is minor. Over time, you might find that the same text input results in a different sentiment score or key phrase output. This is a normal and intentional consequence of using managed machine learning resources in the cloud.
-
Yes, now you can use the analyze operation in Preview to combine more than one Text Analytics feature in the same asynchronous call. The analyze operation is currently only available in the Standard (S) pricing tier and follows the same pricing criteria of the S tier.
