What Counts as an Entity?
People, dates, money, and more.
Meet the Entity
An entity is a real-world thing a sentence names: a person, a place, a date, an amount. NER teaches machines to spot them. 🔎
Why Names Matter
Most of the value in text hides in its names. Who, where, when, and how much answer the questions people actually care about.
