In various examples, natural language processing may be performed on text generated by a game to extract one or more in-game events from the game. The system (e.g., a client device and/or server) may receive the text in the form of one or more strings generated by a game application. The system may then extract one or more in-game events from the text using natural language processing. The game may include the text in a message it sends to the system (e.g., using an Application Programming Interface (API)) and/or in a game log entry or notification. The text may be generated based at least on the game determining one or more conditions are satisfied in the gameplay (e.g., victory, points scored, milestones, eliminations, item acquisition, etc.). The text may be mapped to event templates, which may then be used to extract parameters of events therefrom.
