#salience ⇒ ::Float

Returns The salience score associated with the entity in the [0, 1.0] range.

The salience score for an entity provides information about the importance or centrality of that entity to the entire document text. Scores closer to 0 are less salient, while scores closer to 1.0 are highly salient.

Returns:

  • (::Float) —
