Unstructured to Structured Data

Question

This is highly a research based question about converting the unstructured textual data to structured data. Are there any systems or tools perform automated process of converting the unstructured data without human interventions to structured data sets? The unstructured data flows from different resources can be directed to a tool/software to be extracted automatically.

Answer 1

Depends on the data. Stanford's NER (GPL license) can pull out date/time, names of individuals and companies, locations, monetary amounts, in popular human languages.

A lot of data and work went into building the models, and if you need to build a custom model then you'll need a lot of data and work.
