Topic Extraction
Identify keywords and significant phrases in your text data, even when they are not explicitly mentioned
Overview
Quickly get the gist of your content
Topic extraction discovers the central keywords in documents or databases, but unlike categorization or entity extraction, it is not constrained by a finite list of recognized entity types or categories. Instead, the topic endpoint identifies “keyphrases” and “concepts” for the given input based on frequency and linguistic patterns in the text, ranking them according to their relative importance.
Topic extraction allows users to quickly review a list of keyphrases and concepts to get the gist of an article or document. On a macro level, the same principle can be applied to a corpus of documents to understand what ideas are most common amongst them. Knowing the keyphrases and concepts in each document enables users to automatically tag, sort, and organize their data, making it more useful to analysts and database managers.
Keyphrases vs. concepts
Keyphrases are significant phrases or words taken directly from the text that Rosette deems to be representative of the content. They are uncovered based on frequency, with consideration of common stop words like “and” or “that,” as well as language-specific statistical patterns of where keywords are likely to be located. Concepts are themes detected within the text that may not be explicitly mentioned in the input. For example, an article about the Super Bowl may have the concept of “sports” or “American football” even if neither is mentioned in the text.
Topic extraction is currently only available in English, but our on-premise tools can also be custom-trained for new languages as needed.

{"content": "To Sleep John Keats, 1795 - 1821
O soft embalmer of the still midnight!
Shutting with careful fingers and benign
Our gloom-pleased eyes, embower’d from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine;
O soothest Sleep! if so it please thee, close,
In midst of this thine hymn, my willing eyes,
Or wait the amen, ere thy poppy throws
Around my bed its lulling charities;
Then save me, or the passèd day will shine
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes;
Save me from curious conscience, that still lords
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oilèd wards,
And seal the hushèd casket of my soul. - John Keats
