Accelerate text analytics’ time-to-benefit with our Vertical Packs

At MeaningCloud we have published our first Vertical Packs.

Our goal for them is to provide you with the fastest and least costly and risky way to make your text analytics initiatives profitable.

Preconfigured models and dictionaries

Usually one of the main costs of text analytics projects lies in building the models and dictionaries needed to adapt the tools to each application scenario, and at MeaningCloud we have always made it very easy thanks to the customization tools that the product includes.

But for those who do not have the resources to carry out this adaptation, the Vertical Packs give it to you already prepared for a set of scenarios. The Packs consist of a series of pre-prepared resources (dictionaries, deep categorization models, and sentiment models) focused on a series of typical scenarios (analysis of the Voice of the Customer, the Voice of the Employee, etc.) ready for immediate use and that provide analyses with an increased precision, recall, and relevance in these applications.

Use them from our add-ins for Excel

To make it easier to leverage the Vertical Packs, we have made them accessible through new add-ins for Excel, with support for the most useful operations, models, and analysis in each vertical.

Add-in for Excel

If you work for Marketing, Customer Support, or Human Resources and have thousands of comments from your customers or employees to analyze, sign up to MeaningCloud, download the corresponding add-in for Excel, paste your verbatims in a spreadsheet, press the relevant MeaningCloud button, and you will see how your comments are automatically tagged with meaningful categories for the analysis of the Voice of the Customer or the Employee.

Applications of Text Analytics in the Tourism Industry

Understand Your Visitors, Improve Your Offering

Tourism is one of the largest economic activities, with statistics indicating that people spend more discretionary income on travel than on home improvement, financial investment, or even health.

But how people travel is changing. For example, people are spending more and more time researching trip details on their mobile devices. In 2016, 40% of US travel site visits and 60% of searches for destination information came from mobile devices, and travelers are increasingly consuming and publishing information on tourism in online travel agencies, social networks, or review sites such as TripAdvisor, Booking.com, etc.

A new generation of contextual semantic analysis applications allow us to leverage all that information and communicate more naturally with hyperconnected tourists. These applications range from analyzing comments on social media to understanding natural language which allows us to develop much more conversational assistants and bots.

Deep Semantic Analytics: A Case Study

Scenarios that can benefit from unstructured content analysis are becoming more and more frequent: from industry or company news to processing contracts or medical records. However, as we know, this content does not lend itself to automatic analysis.

Text analytics has come to meet this need, providing powerful tools that allow us to discover topics, mentions, polarity, etc. in free-form text. This ability has made it possible to achieve an initial level of automatic understanding and analysis of unstructured documents, which has empowered a generation of context-sensitive semantic applications in areas such as Voice of the Customer analysis or knowledge management.

Why you need Deep Semantic Analytics (webinar)

Achieve a deep, automated understanding of complex documents

Conventional Text Analytics enable a first level of automatic understanding of unstructured content, achieved through its ability to extract mentions of entities and concepts, assign general categories or identify the polarity of opinions and facts that appear in the text. However, these isolated information elements do not reflect the wealth of information provided by these documents and impose limitations when it comes to finding, relating or analyzing them automatically.

Deep Semantic Analytics represents a step beyond conventional text analytics by providing features such as snippet-level granular categorization, detection of complex patterns, and extraction of semantic relationships between information elements in the document.

RapidMiner: Impact of topics on the sentiment of textual product reviews

This is the second of two tutorials where we will be using MeaningCloud Extension for RapidMiner to extract insights that combine structured data with unstructured text. Read the first one here. To follow these tutorials you will need to have RapidMiner Studio and our Extension for RapidMiner installed on your machine (learn how here).

In this RapidMiner tutorial we shall attempt to extract a rule set that will predict the positivity/negativity of a review based on MeaningCloud’s topics extraction feature as well as sentiment analysis.

To be more specific, we will try to give an answer to the following question:

  • Which topics have the most impact in a customer review and how do they affect the sentiment of the review that the user has provided?

For this purpose, we will use a dataset of food reviews that comes from Amazon. The dataset can be found here.
