Migrate Concept Insights to AlchemyLanguage

[alanbraz]

Hi,

I'm the Offering Manager for the Concept Insights service on the Watson Developer Cloud.

I would like to inform you that Concept Insights service will be retired, the capabilities will be replaced by AlchemyLanguage.

This means:

• As of July 31st, 2016, the Concept Insights Service will be removed from the Bluemix catalog, and no new instances of the service will be provided thereafter.
• Additionally, the Audio Analysis Application Starter Kit will be removed from the Watson Developer Cloud website.
• Users are therefore asked to migrate to AlchemyAPI, the AlchemyLanguage “concept” feature can be used as a substitute for most Concept Insights use cases.
• We are working to migrate customers to alternate solutions as quickly as possible.

Please communicate to your team as appropriate.

I am communicating through the appropriate deprecation channels as well; however, we are expediting the process so I am notifying you directly in advance of additional communications.

Concept Insights stored the corpus inside itself and also returned the documents that were alike. Will we have to manage this now?

[alanbraz]

We already store the docs anyway, the only difference would be store also the extracted concepts.

What we will have to review is how the matching will be done now
