The Illustrated BERT: How NLP Cracked Transfer Learning

Can you point me to a text analysis API that is not embarrassingly bad?

I have tried products from Amazon, IBM, Google and other companies and the one thing they have in common is they've never passed an acceptance test for me.

Language translation is a particular bad example of something where a "Clever Hans" effect can happen, where the reader's desire and capability for closure will fill in for mistakes the system makes and make it look like it performs better than it really does.

I don’t use off the shelf APIs, but I’d be surprised if Google’s named entity recogniser isn’t pretty good in the news or financial domain.

OpenCalais is pretty good in the financial domain. http://www.opencalais.com/opencalais-demo/

IBM isn’t great. Don’t know about Amazon.
