What is Amazon Comprehend?

Comprehend is to comprehend stuff, so it is for Natural Language Processing, or NLP.

Now what it is, it is a fully managed and serverless service and it will use machine learning to find insights and relationships in your text.

What Amazon Comprehend can do

It can understand what is the language of the text, it can extract key phrases, places, people, brands, or events from that text.

It can understand, do a sentiment analysis to understand how positive or negative the text you’re analyzing is.

It can also analyze a text using tokenization and parts of speech.

It also has audio.

And finally, it can organize a collection of text files by topic, and find topics itself.

So, Comprehend is really about getting a lot of data in and then Comprehend will do the rest to try to understand the meaning of that data.
So it’s about taking text or unstructured data and structuring it around these features.

some use cases

Analyze customer interaction.
So say you have a bunch of customers sending you emails and you want to understand overall based on your support service what leads to a positive or negative experience from your customers.
We use Comprehend to extract these features and then you will have the business insight and then you can improve your business, thanks to that analysis.

You can also, for example, create and group articles by topics that Comprehend will uncover.
So imagine you have a lot of articles and you want to group them together instead of going to them one by one, you would feed them into Comprehend and then it would output you the topics you need to group them by.
