Natural language processing consulting & implementation
Tapping into unstructured data—text, voice, audio, images, videos—to enhance enterprise insight discovery, analytics, and decision making
Gain better insights from your unstructured data
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is being integrated into our daily lives with virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Home. In the enterprise world, NLP has become essential for businesses to gain a competitive edge. Consider the valuable insights hidden in your enterprise
unstructured data—text, email, social media, videos, customer reviews, reports, etc. NLP applications are a game changer, helping enterprises analyze and extract value from this unstructured data.
At the Search & Content Analytics practice of Accenture Applied Intelligence, we focus on delivering Natural Language Processing consulting and implementation services that help enterprises leverage unstructured data to transform outcomes across industries and business functions.
Extracting insights from unstructured data has been difficult. But with natural language processing and machine learning, this is changing fast.
Example natural language processing applications
Question-answer systems

Common natural language processing techniques
We implement NLP techniques to understand both the user’s natural language query and the enterprise’s content to deliver the most relevant insights.
Raw language processing
As raw data varies from different sources, we bring content processing services to ensure your data is enriched for the highest-quality results.
- Extract text content
- Remove common, irrelevant sections
- Extract coded metadata
- Token extraction, normalization, and cleansing
- Phrase extraction
Text mining and text extraction
Often, the natural language content is not conveniently tagged. Text mining, text extraction, or possibly full-up NLP can be used to extract useful insights from this content.
- Entity extraction – such as companies, people, locations, etc.
- Content categorization – to conduct sentiment analysis
- Content clustering – to identify the main topics and discover new topics
- Fact extraction – to fill databases with structured information for analysis, visualization, and alerting
- Relationship extraction – to fill out graph databases to explore real-world relationships
Statistical language processing
To provide a general understanding of the document as a whole.
- Clustering
- Categorization
- Similarity
- Topic analysis
- Word clouds
- Summarization
Innovations
We continuously refine our NLP techniques to support more complex enterprise requirements. Applying advanced NLP and other AI methods, we are exploring innovative use cases, such as:
Question matching
Match the question to a curated FAQ list or previously-answered questions database.
Document understanding
Read and interpret highly-curated content, such as documentation and specifications.
Procedure understanding
Read and convert written procedures into knowledge graphs for faster, more robust insight discovery.
Knowledge graph answers
Used to generate answers from curated, structured information.
