In the realm of information extraction from text data, there exists a number of tools with the capability of extracting entities and their relationships with one another. Such information has endless uses in a number of domains, however, the solutions to getting this information is still in early stages and has room for improvement. The topic has been explored from a research perspective by academic institutions, as well as formal tool creation from corporations. Overall, entity extraction is common among these tools, though with varying degrees of accuracy, while relationship extraction is more difficult to find. In this report, we take a look at the top state of the art tools currently available and identify their capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. We explore the common algorithms in the successful approaches and their ability to efficiently handle both structured and unstructured text data. Finally, we highlight some of the common issues among these tools and summarize the current status in the area of entity-relationship extraction.
