This document summarizes a presentation on generating metadata by machine from the BEA 2015 conference. It discusses the experiences of the World Bank, IMF, and Trajectory Inc. with using automated processes to generate metadata for books and other publications. The World Bank uses a combination of automated and manual metadata generation depending on the publication. The IMF was able to significantly reduce the time and costs required to generate metadata for over 60,000 publications by using automated systems. Trajectory demonstrated several natural language processing and text analysis techniques their systems use to automatically extract metadata like keywords, entities, sentiment analysis, and translations from documents.
