Overview

Targeted Applications to Tackle Any Entity

Train custom, high-accuracy NER models on your data without hand-labeling.

Image

Faster, Lower-cost Development

Use programmatic labeling to develop high-quality AI applications in hours instead of spending weeks or months on expensive hand-labeling.

Image

Rapidly Adaptable

Monitor for changes in the data, and rapidly adapt using built-in error analysis tools. Zoom in on errors to fine-tune training data & models with guided iteration.

Image

High-accuracy Models

Leverage large amounts of labeled and unlabeled data, NLP primitives, and state-of-the-art model architectures to build high-accuracy models.

Image

Flexible Integrations

Easily integrate labeling, training and analysis pipelines defined over diverse input types–text, PDF, HTML, and more–with downstream applications using APIs or a Python SDK.

Use Cases

NER Customized for Your Workflow

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Account Identification
Banks can extract entities like client ID, IBAN number, and transaction details to automate account identification.

TELECOM & CYBER

Malicious Attack Prevention
Cybersecurity teams can automatically identify and track CVEs in real-time.

HEALTHCARE

Patient Identification
Hospitals can find entities in patient records to identify health patterns and improve diagnoses.

INSURANCE

Claims Processing
Insurance firms can recognize entities like insured person, loss amount, and policyholder to process claims faster.

SOFTWARE

Search Engine Optimization
Software companies can recognize named entities in customer search queries and to optimize website content.

RETAIL

Product Recommendation
E-commerce sites can recognize entities in product descriptions (price, key words, etc.) to improve recommender systems.

Case Study

Image

Intel used Snorkel to replace a high-cost, high-latency crowdsourcing pipeline and accelerate sales & marketing agents.

Problem
Rapidly changing sales goals make social media monitoring difficult to maintain.
Solution

Deployed Snorkel to replace months-long crowd-worker effort with cheap and fast template-based programmatic labeling.

Result

Better performance and major cost savings for sales & marketing and customer analytics.

How Snorkel Flow Works

Build Precise AI Apps for NER

Snorkel Flow allows you to recognize entities with ease and accuracy across an extensive collection of texts and documents. Collect and clean data with built-in pre-processors and taggers. Programmatically label documents with custom labeling functions, build end-to-end pipelines using your custom-trained models or tailored heuristics to perform entity tagging, linking, or classification. Deploy your NER application or seamlessly integrate it into downstream NLP tasks.
