Are there any APIs available which could help us do the following:
Given a body of text, extract:
1) The name of a restaurant
2) The date it was opened
3) A description of the restaurant
4) The restaurant owner
Assume the body of text contains all this information in unstructured format.
Obviously, we could rely on Amazon mTurk. But we're curious if an API allows something to be done programmatically -- or if not extract all these elements, at least extract some of them.
Someone just sent me this on Quora: http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-text-analytics-API-+-service.
Any other suggestions?
