Abstract
Network representation of data is key to a variety of fields and their applications including trading and business. A major source of data that can be used to build insightful networks is the abundant amount of unstructured text data available through the web. The efforts to turn unstructured text data into a network have spawned different research endeavors, including the simplification of the process. This study presents the design and implementation of TraCER, a pipeline that turns unstructured text data into a graph, targeting the business networking domain. It describes the application of natural language processing techniques used to process the text, as well as the heuristics and learning algorithms that categorize the nodes and the links. The study also presents some simple yet efficient methods for the entity-linking and relation classification steps of the pipeline.
