TIBCO Spotfire

 We are looking for a Spotfire analytic platform that can perform entity extraction.  Entity extraction is the process of locating phrases in an input document and classifying these phrases into a set of categories. This information can then be used to better understand the content of the document. Entities can be concrete objects, such as people or companies, or more abstract objects, such as percentages. For example search application could use entity extraction to provide the capability of finding all documents in a given corpus that contain a company name, even if the user does not know the exact name of the company he is searching for. Entity extraction can be used to examine a corpus and see what names are most frequently mentioned (that is, most popular), which is something that cannot be done with simple keyword searches. Entity extraction can be used to markup documents with useful links. As an example, an application could use entity extraction to find all the places in their documents, and link the text of each place to a map showing the absolute location.  It can also provide a summary report of the extraction.
