The GDELT Project

GDELT + Google Cloud Natural Language API

With the public announcement today of Google Cloud Natural Language API, we are excited to announce that GDELT has been an early alpha user of the API, using it to gradually build up a global relationship and syntax graph over global news media. In particular, Google's deep learning algorithms have proven immensely adept at sifting through even the most complex news text and correctly capturing the relationships and connections among all of those entities. We are using these results to develop a single massive dependency graph over global news reporting in realtime, blending the results with the GDELT GKG, GDELT EVENTS and GDELT GCAM. As this work progresses, we will be rolling out a series of new data streams and APIs offering access to this single global relationship graph. We can't wait to see what you are able to do with this immensely exciting new capability!
