Thomson Reuters acquired the Israeli company ClearForest in 2007, which joined forces with other natural-language processing experts at Thomson Reuters to form the Text Metadata Services (TMS) Group. The TMS Group's mandate is to address the full spectrum of Thomson Reuters's metadata requirements. The group employs natural-language processing technologies to detect events in narrative text, extract entities, classify topics, and identify meaningful connections between entities.
