Real-time analysis using the built-in models

You can use the Amazon Comprehend console to run real-time analysis of a UTF-8 encoded text document. The document can be English or one of the other languages supported by Amazon Comprehend. The results are shown in the console so that you can review the analysis.

To start analyzing documents, sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Comprehend console.

You can replace the sample text with your own text and then choose Analyze to get an analysis of your text. Below the text being analyzed, the Results pane shows more information about the text.

Personally identifiable information (PII)

The PII tab lists entities in your input text that contain personally identifiable information (PII). A PII entity is a textual reference to personal data that could be used to identify an individual, such as an address, bank account number, or phone number. For more information, see Detecting PII entities.

The PII tab provides two analysis modes:

  • Offsets

  • Labels

Offsets

The Offsets analysis mode identifies the location of PII in your text documents. For more information, see Locate PII entities.


          The PII offsets analysis mode.

Labels

The Labels analysis mode checks for the presence of PII in your text document and returns the labels of identified PII entity types. For more information, see Labeling PII entities.

Sentiment

The Sentiment tab shows the dominant sentiment of the text. Sentiment can be rated neutral, positive, negative, or mixed. In this case, each sentiment has a confidence rating, providing an estimate by Amazon Comprehend for that sentiment being dominant. For more information, see Sentiment.


        The Sentiment tab.

Targeted sentiment

Targeted sentiment analysis identifies the sentiments expressed about entities mentioned in the text. Amazon Comprehend assigns a sentiment rating to each mention of an entity, along with a confidence rating and other information. A sentiment rating can be neutral, positive, negative, or mixed.

In the Analyzed text panel, the console underlines each of analyzed entities. The color of the underlined text indicates the overall sentiment of the entity. If you hover your cursor over an entity, the console displays additional information in a pop-up window.


        The Targeted sentiment tab.

The Results table provides additional detail about each entity. If there are multiple mentions of the same entity, called a co-reference group, the table displays these mentions as a collapsible set of rows associated with the main entity.

In the following example, the entity is a person named Zhang Wei. The targeted sentiment analysis recognizes that each mention of your is a reference to the same person. The console displays these mentions as sub-entries of the main entity.

If the text you are analyzing doesn't include any targeted sentiment Entity types, the targeted sentiment analysis displays an empty results field.
