The Role of NLP in Media Intelligence

Understanding NLP

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. It involves the development of algorithms and models that enable machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful. NLP powers many everyday technologies, from voice assistants to language translation services.

At Event Registry, we harness the potential of NLP to transform raw news data into structured, actionable intelligence. Our platform processes over 150,000 news sources in more than 60 languages, providing users with real-time access to a wealth of information.
