Entity extraction can be useful when you want to add interactivity to your application based on the context of the text.
For example, if it’s a phone number you can prompt the user to make a call and if it’s an email address you can prompt the user to open the email app. This is achieved by first extracting various entities in the text. In this piece, let’s look at how that can be achieved using Google’s ML Kit.
First things first—
What is Visual Recognition? And where can it be used??In short, Visual Recognition helps us find meaning in visual content.
We can use Visual Recognition to develop smart applications that analyze the visual content of images or video frames to understand what is happening in a scene.

With the advent of neural networks, machine learning has gained immense popularity, and companies in just about every industry have started to apply some form of this vast technology to increase efficiency, improve throughput, or enhance customer experiences.
Artificial intelligence as a field has seen major breakthroughs in many areas within the past decade. With so many industries jumping towards automation and trying to apply AI to enhance customer experiences, it’s started to create a bigger impact in our day-to-day lives.
Being used on such a large and varied scale, it has recently come to light that these methods come with their own problems.
As global food demand continues to rise and myriad threats of climate change intensify, creating more sustainable agricultural practices has become increasingly essential. This is especially true in remote areas of the world, where advanced agricultural expertise is scarce and smallholder farmers with limited resources (both financial and material) cultivate an estimated 80% of farmland.
