By: Mona M, Premkumar Rangarajan

Overview of this book

Natural language processing (NLP) uses machine learning to extract information from unstructured data. This book will help you to move quickly from business questions to high-performance models in production. To start with, you'll understand the importance of NLP in today’s business applications and learn the features of Amazon Comprehend and Amazon Textract to build NLP models using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. The book then shows you how to integrate AI in applications for accelerating business outcomes with just a few lines of code. Throughout the book, you'll cover use cases such as smart text search, setting up compliance and controls when processing confidential documents, real-time text analytics, and much more to understand various NLP scenarios. You'll deploy and monitor scalable NLP models in production for real-time and batch requirements. As you advance, you'll explore strategies for including humans in the loop for different purposes in a document processing workflow. Moreover, you'll learn best practices for auto-scaling your NLP inference for enterprise traffic. Whether you're new to ML or an experienced practitioner, by the end of this NLP book, you'll have the confidence to use AWS AI services to build powerful NLP applications.

Chapter 9: Extracting Metadata from Financial Documents

In the previous chapter, we learned how to build an intelligent solution for media content monetization using AWS AI services. We did this by talking about how our fictitious company LiveRight Holdings private limited requires a cost-effective expansion for content monetization. We designed an architecture using AWS AI services, media services, and the content delivery network for an end-to-end walkthrough of how to monetize content in video files.

In this chapter, we will look at how AWS AI services can help us extract metadata for financial filing reports for LiveRight Holdings. This will allow their financial analysts to look into important information and make better decisions concerning financial events such as mergers, acquisitions, and IPOs.

We will talk about what metadata is and why it is important to extract metadata. Then, we will cover how to use Amazon Comprehend entity extraction and how Amazon Comprehend events...
