About Bitext

For years, Bitext has built multilingual linguistic infrastructure for enterprise software teams that need language processing they can inspect, control and trust.

Before AI systems can retrieve, reason, classify or generate reliably, they need to understand the language they consume. That is the problem Bitext has been solving through computational linguistics, lexical resources and multilingual NLP technology.

Our thesis

AI systems are only as reliable as the language layer beneath them

Modern AI has changed the interface, but not the underlying problem. Enterprise systems still need clean, structured and language-aware signals before they can search, retrieve, extract, classify or reason over text reliably.

Before AI
language must be prepared

After Bitext
systems receive cleaner signals

Our story

Built on deep computational linguistics

Bitext was built on a conviction that language technology requires more than generic text processing. Real language has morphology, ambiguity, compounds, regional variants, entities, idioms, grammatical structure and domain-specific meaning.

Long before the current AI wave, Bitext invested in multilingual linguistic resources and NLP technology designed to make text usable by enterprise software. That foundation is now even more relevant as organizations build AI systems that depend on trustworthy retrieval, extraction and grounding.

The market may now call this AI infrastructure. Bitext has been building the linguistic layer behind it for years.

What we believe

Better AI starts with better language preparation

Bitext exists because multilingual language is complex, and enterprise AI systems need a reliable layer that reduces that complexity before downstream models and applications act on the text.

Language is not generic

Every language has its own morphology, structure, compounds, entities and ambiguity

AI needs evidence

Retrieval, search and extraction work better when the evidence has been linguistically prepared

Control still matters

Enterprise systems need repeatable, inspectable linguistic signals, not only black-box outputs

Multilingual depth wins

Global AI systems require language-specific resources, not one-size-fits-all preprocessing

Why Bitext is different

Deep linguistic resources, not surface-level text processing

Bitext is grounded in computational linguistics and multilingual language resources. That means we focus on the structure of language itself: words, lemmas, morphology, compounds, entities, phrases and grammar.

For enterprise teams, this creates a practical advantage: Bitext provides explicit linguistic output that can be used inside larger systems, including search engines, RAG pipelines, knowledge graphs, document workflows and multilingual AI applications.

The Hidden Signal in Millions of News Articles That Reveals How Global Narratives Form

The Experiment
We tested this idea using the Leipzig English News corpora from the Wortschatz Project at Leipzig University. We analyzed datasets from 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Across these datasets, the pipeline processed roughly:

2 million raw news articles
400K articles after topical filtering
From these documents the pipeline extracted:

millions of entity mentions
tens of millions of co-mention relationships
To focus on economic and technology narratives, documents were filtered using the IPTC Media Topics taxonomy, keeping only:

Economy, Business and Finance
Science and Technology

Why LLMs Are the Wrong Tool for Enterprise-Grade Entity Extraction

Large Language Models are powerful systems for language generation and reasoning.
However, when they are used for entity extraction in enterprise environments, they introduce instability where reliability is required.
Entity extraction is not about creativity or interpretation. It is infrastructure. In production systems, entities must be extracted in a way that is consistent, repeatable, and stable over time.

Tagging consistency is essential to ensure that training is smooth. Contradictions and inconsistencies not only decrease accuracy but also generate hidden costs in MLOps when trying to debug and fix errors. We often take this consistency for granted, but that is rarely the case, not only in these datasets but also in any other manual tagging work.

Consistency starts with having a solid and clear definition of what an entity is. Typically, if not always, that’s not the case.

And knowledge graphs are built using automatic data extraction tools: not only entity extraction but also concept extraction and relationships among entities or concepts.

German & Korean Retrieval Fails Without Proper Decompounding

German and Korean do not break retrieval because they are unusually complex; they break retrieval because most systems still treat complex words as monolithic strings. When compounds and eojeols remain opaque, search engines cannot align queries with documents—even when they contain the same meaning. Any team building multilingual search, vector search or RAG must incorporate reliable decompounding as a foundational step to avoid systematic retrieval failures.

The Moment to Pay Attention to Hybrid NLP (Symbolic + ML)

Problem. There’s broad consensus today: LLMs are phenomenal personal productivity tools — they draft, summarize, and assist effortlessly.
But there’s also growing recognition that they’re still not ready for enterprise-grade deployment.

Using Public Corpora to Build Your NER systems

Rationale. NER tools are at the heart of how the scientific community is solving LLM issues using GraphRAG and NodeRAG architectures.

LLMs need knowledge graphs to control hallucinations and make them more solid for enterprise-level use.

And knowledge graphs are built using automatic data extraction tools: not only entity extraction but also concept extraction and relationships among entities or concepts.

Open-Source Data and Training Issues

As described in our previous post “Using Public Corpora to Build Your NER systems”, we are going to highlight areas where public datasets like OntoNotes or CoNLL can be improved. We will provide some tips on how to avoid these issues, whenever possible, using (semi-)automatic techniques.

Why Semantic Intelligence Is the Missing Link in Active Metadata and Data Governance

The new Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Solutions, Q3 2025 makes one thing clear: governance is no longer about static catalogs. Vendors are moving fast into Active Metadata and Agentic AI, with features like lineage, observability, policy enforcement, and marketplaces for data assets.

Bitext NAMER: Slashing Time and Costs in Automated Knowledge Graph Construction

The process of building Knowledge Graphs is essential for organizations seeking to organize, structure, and extract actionable insights from their data. However, traditional methods of constructing Knowledge Graphs are often slow, expensive, and complex, requiring significant expertise and manual effort. Bitext NAMER changes the game by automating key steps in the Knowledge Graph creation process, making it faster, more cost-effective, and accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Multilingual Named Entity Recognition for Knowledge Graphs: Supporting 70+ Languages with Precision

In the era of data-driven decision-making, Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have emerged as pivotal tools for structuring, organizing, and interconnecting vast amounts of information. From enhancing search engine capabilities to powering AI-driven insights, KGs rely heavily on extracting, interpreting, and linking data elements with precision. At the core of this process lies Named Entity Recognition (NER), event extraction, and relationship mapping, foundational technologies for enabling robust knowledge management. Bitext’s NER solution, NAMER, is uniquely positioned to support the growing needs of KG companies, offering unparalleled features that address common industry challenges.
