IBM BigInsights Text Analytics (V4)

Course Description

Learn how to use IBM® BigInsights® Text Analytics, an information extraction system, to extract information from unstructured and semi-structured documents.

Using IBM BigInsights Text Analytics you can create extractors using a visual web interface. The visual extractors are then automatically translated into Annotation Query Language (AQL) rules to extract structured information from unstructured and semi-structured documents. You can apply Text Analytics to big data at rest in IBM BigInsights and big data in motion in IBM Streams.
