Klangoo is an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) company at heart providing Natural Language Processing (NLP) services to a multitude of domains.
Klangoo’s rule-based NLP service analyses content to identify the “aboutness” or context. Klangoo’s technology allows developers to build their own solutions using its public REST API. It doesn’t require any training or regular model recalculation as is the case with other technologies that fully depend on Machine Learning (ML) models.
Klangoo’s API is domain-independent, supports more than 100 languages, and is already used on billions of pages worldwide.
Developers will be able to build their AI solutions using Klangoo’s API. Some of its most popular features include:
Identify over 40 different high-level entity types and thousands of sub-types, including people, organizations, events, brands, and more. Using patented algorithms, Klangoo scores each identified Entity based on its representation in the content.
Klangoo automatically categorizes your input text into one or more category and provides a score for each of the identified relevant ones based on the context identified.
Once entity extraction, categorization, and key topic identification are done, Klangoo automatically summarizes your input text using extractive and smoothening algorithms.
With Semantic search, or full-text search, Klangoo does not only find the searched Keyphrase/Paragraph but also determines the contextual meaning of the Keyphrase/paragraph that people use for better accuracy.
This feature helps protect a brand’s reputation by using tagging each content based on IAB’s Sensitive Content categories and many more.
Automatically identify the key topics (disambiguated phrases and score) within your input text using the getkey topics method. Topics are the key elements used in Semantic Full-Text Search (matching content), automated summarization, categorization, and theme building amongst other features.
